Hooks on F-15’s are an emergency slow down device. They will not take repeated carrier landing, not to mention it would drive the gear up through the wings.

The F-15 can’t land on a carrier at all. My thread mentioned that I’ve seen an F-15 make an arrested landing at Clark AFB in the PI. And Canadian F-18s are carrier capable as are all F-18s.
