AFAIK there was no change in the blc system from the F-4J, where it worked with the J79.The short deck problem would have been the same for the "F-8K". Although, the 199 ft BS5 and the 211 ft C-11 are essentially the same length.So does it come down to "On the British carriers the Phantom pilot had to crank to 15 degrees of alpha once over the bow"? Was that different from the launch on a C-11 (eg Coral Sea)? If so, because of the lower end speed?
