It can't be arrester hook, right? It does not seem to be in alignment with the fuselage central line. I am confuse.

That is a groove on the left side of the rear fuselage, there is also one on the right side of the rear fuselage and together they form a "V" shape. The sharp tip of the "V" is the hook itself.

Thanks, that clears the confusion.

I'm guessing the AI upscaling erased the other grove. While it helps sharpen other aspects of the image, it deletes minute stuff like that

These are all "AI" handled, "AI" even added wheels to the tail and pretrutions to the lower vertical stablizers. Because of this, I even begin to doubt that the other colors except "red/yellow ribins" are faked by the author of the photos.

From now on my dictionary has a new abbreviation "AI" = "Artificial Idiot".

It is not fault of upscaling but "arbitrarily" replacing the hook with a wheel because the AI (Artificial Idiot) had no idea what should have been there in a low quality photo.
