Watching the original right now. Reminded me if the time I landed a C-150 on a runway at Wendover that the military had been using that day. To my surprise there were 5 arrestor cables across the runway. Temp military tower had closed. No warnings. I discovered that you can indeed land a light aircraft and catch an arresting cable. Very abrupt halt. No damage. The cables were held off the runway by disks. I had to get out, manually turn the plane sideways and taxi off into the dirt. Could not taxi over them. Same runway, same military practice the tower cleared me to land right after an F16 had either just landed or departed, don’t remember. I hit their wingtip vortices on final. Turned me almost inverted but then flipped me upright just as fast. Happened so fast my sphincter didn’t have time to react,
