(Right to left) Master Sgt. Arron Woods, and Tech. Sgt. Henson Green, both with the 374th Operations Support Squadron Airfield management, check the flightline during an annual certification test of the flightline BAK-12 barrier, aircraft arresting system (AAS) at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 4, 2022. The AAS utilizes the arresting hooks attached to the tail of an aircraft to safely decelerate and stop the aircraft when needed to land in short distances. Ensuring the BAK-12 is fully functional through certification testing reinforces Yokota’s multi-capable presence in the Indo-Pacific region. (U.S. Air Force photo by Yasuo Osakabe)
