Similar to the maneuver my wife uses to get me out of bed each morning. Wonder if she knows about it?  :bigthumb:

You have a tail hook? Is it some kind of vestigial thing?

Something similar occurred in the Korean War.  This was illustrated on a History Channel show.  In the interview Risner laughed at how he and the Soviet pilot got into a rolling scissor during the dogfight.

My wife has a tail-hook. Doesn't everyone's? Actually, bacon works best to get me out of bed in the morning.
