Is doing this Safer than taking off with the Banner Already Attached?

For some reason I just assumed they dragged that shit behind them on take off, or launched it out the door when high

New respect for the sign flyers. That looks dodgy as hell.

I don’t know why but I love the engine sound of these planes

So was it successful?
As in, did someone finally tell Robert Woods “safe nurse staffing saves lives!”

Man, I absolutely hated doing banner set ups. You had to set it up one way or the other depending on which way the wind was blowing that particular minute, where I was. If the wind was blowing from the south you had to set it for pick up from the north. But if the wind changed mid pick up, the banner could get twisted. The pilot would throw the hook out, could tell by the aerial that the wind had changed and try to pull up, but would end up dragging the banner twisted into the air and have to drop it. That meant landing and resetting the hook and cable. And the banner.

So that is what all the Navy pilots do after they retire.

Has there ever been an incident where the hook gets caught on the ground?

I knew i always wanted to know, but I cant help that my reaction was just a “huh shrug” and the thought “the more you know”. Much more respect to those pilots
