Catapult sled test tracks
North of the runway
Comments

These are for testing arrester cable systems, the one's that "catch" the aircraft landing on a carrier. They send a rocket sled down a track towards the cable system for testing. Occasionally, the cables fail and the sled goes flying off the end of the track into the sand, and sometimes the woods beyond.Mon Dec 26 23:38:05 -0800 2005 |
