In the mid-to-late 80's, the Air Force flew RF-4s out of Bergstrom AFB in Austin. We'd give them a block altitude of FL410-510 so that the pilots could get their aircraft up to Mach2. About 60% of the time an emergency was declared (usually hydraulic failure) on the return to base. Seeing as these were 25-30 year old aircraft, we didn't think it was unusual.

In 1985, we were returning to Portlan on a road trip and stopped in Klamath Falls on the Fourth. We joined the crowd on the shore of Klamath Lake for the fireworks display. At dusk, I spied two smoke smudges to the Northwest. I nudged my spouse and said "Watch this." Just as the pair of F-4s from Kingsley Field passed at low level overhead, they lit their afterburners. Boom!

The USN USMC types the tail hooks are standard. The USAF types also had tail hooks. The USAF bases installed arresting systems as a hedge against brake failure long landing and parachute fouling.
