Airnutz, I watched your video, yes they are American ( well at least a couple of 'em ), they do use a catapult, but that just don't look like Viet Nam to me ! :D

Yep, mea culpa! I digressed to off-topicdom of pre-Nam "early land cats", back on topic....a good overall SATS history....

No joy on finding Tom(or myself for that matter now) video footage of the turbine powered land cat..at either Chu Lai or Lakehurst. I did run across one line while re-reading some history of All American Aviation of a jet-powered cat they developed for the Marine Corps...ever heard of the Turbocat Tiger Tosser, Rick? It don't google...
