Wow! Thanks for answering my question!
Q: Wait, the USAF uses carrier-based fighters? I though just the navy and marines use the carriers.. A: A pilot will use what he has to. Many non-Navy aircraft have arresting gear

F-111's had a tail hook. It was used to catch the cable across the runway after declaring an IFE.

F-16s do as well, but not one strong enough to support carrier operations. It's the last resort option in the event of brake/gear failure.

When did you land on carriers? Was this as part of the Army Air Force?
