What note? What do you want to know?

Just search for "pig launchers". Then, after you understand the basics, maybe you'll have intelligent questions. I hope you're not a "pipeline engineer".

Here's one way to launch a pig. Maybe you mean a slower launched pig. Maybe you want a pig that is intended to be launched. I know, you want that great historic pig launch and retrieval for the sake of the glorious people. This one includes great music so there are lots of notes in a minor key.

I am proud to say , the Americans have never come close to matching our great technological lead in the field of pork flight. Or in our field of potato.

I would be tempted to use a big air cannon like one of those pumpkin chucker contest guys use. I suspect the note at that point will be a pretty low thump followed by a very high pitched squeal!

For receiving the high velocity pig I would probably go with either a large net or try and skip it across a pond until it lost its momentum then retrieve it with a boat.

Should I be looking that up in acronyms in Free Online Dictionary, or Urban?

If the latter; Hey it's not like I said "High C" and linked to Deliverance.

Coming from the iron industry I've seen several pigs launched. Usually by incompetent crane drivers.

They missed me!
