Check the Boeing website. They used to sell parts as mementos.

Curious, is there a difference?

Cute, but I bet you are too young to even understand the question I'm asking.,,,,,,,,,,,I know, being a dick, but that's the mood I'm in.One's new in the box and the other is gently used.

You wound me sir. You wound me.
I honestly would also like to know if there's a difference between the two myself/apologize if I gave any offense.
New-in-box is just that....it was never installed on an aircraft, nor did it see any flight time or traps. It still has the RFI (Reafy For Issue) tag on the box....and boy is this tailhook sparkly and new.
The gently used one has flight time and more than 100 traps.

I think what was being asked is if there is any difference in design between the A-6 and the EA-6B tailhook? Or are they the same design (other then the fact one of yours is used and one isn't of course)?
or was your question "is there a difference between the A-6 tailhook and the EA-6B tailhook?"
If that is your question, then the A-6 tailhook is shorter and less beefy than the EA-6B tailhook.

Did the Prowler need a longer/beefier tailhook because it was a bit bigger than an Intruder or am I overthinking this?
