374th CES performs aircraft arresting barrier system certification tests
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- An F-16 Fighting Falcon from Misawa Air Base, Japan, is stopped by an aircraft arresting barrier system during annual test of the system at Yokota Air Base, July 13, 2011. The arresting gear is used in the event of an emergency where a fighter or similar aircraft cannot stop on its own. A tailhook catches the cable stretched across the runway and massive hydraulic reels slowly bring the aircraft to a stop. (U.S. Air Force photo/Osakabe Yasuo)
