Thank you. Its the first time for me to see a this type of landing in the flesh so well happy.
Like paddy boy said right place. I was just leaving Mildenhall and had a heads up that it was landing on the wire so just got to Lakenheath in time to catch it.

Thanks for posting. Do you know why they use arrestor wires like this? Is it due to a technical issue with the a/c or a training evolution? Apologies for my ignorance!

As I said pick up on box it was landing on wire. It didn’t sound like an exercise. But it didn’t hear about any issues.
