This 66-inch reel holds the nylon tape attached to the steel cable an aircraft's tailhook would grab in the event of an emergency; it is one part of the BAK-12 aircraft arresting system. The BAK-12s on the flightline of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson are designed to bring out-of-control aircraft to a safe stop with minimal damage. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Kyle Johnson)
