Great aircraft.  I think the "yellow shirt" catapult hook up crews would have feared working around that intake...

I doubt no more so than they did around the Crusader and Corsair II intakes, considering their proximity to the nose gear.

I say these F-16 versions would be more feared than the F-8 or A-7.   The F-8 used bridle strops for launching, and the hookup points were farther back on the belly, but her intake was indeed feared.  The A-7 was also feared and used nose gear hook up.  This nose gear is closer to the intake than the A-7.   Still some great models.

Yes
Yes the hook is too I will shorten it. See the pictures. The A7 seems more greedy with his mouth ... What the 1600

Just a detail concerning the navalized F-16: these machine were not supposed to carry launch rails on the wing tips like its land-based counterpart, rather classic pylons under the wing tips for single Sidewinders (as depicted in the upper view). Yes, it's whifworld, so it does not matter much, but IMHO one of the things that outwardly set the 1600 apart from its dry sister.

[leptiprince]

Yes it depends on the variants 1600/1601 & 1602 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_Model_1600
