F-4N in tension moments before launch. Note that the F-4 used the bridle launch method, the bridle cables seen running from the shuttle behind the nose gear up to hooks located at both wing roots. The F-4 nose gear extends for catapult launches so the wing has more angle of attack. This lowers the takeoff speed thus allowing launches within the capabilities of the catapult. This F-4N is carrying two live AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. White object in lower left is a video camera recording the launch.
