    A U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18C Hornet, assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 312, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, comes to a stop on the base flightline during an annual certification test of the Aircraft Arresting System (AAS) at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Jan. 6, 2023. An AAS can save lives in cases where a pilot is unable to stop their aircraft during landing. In those extreme cases, the arresting system initiates to also prevent any potential damage to the aircraft itself or other airfield equipment by stopping it on the runway.(U.S. Air Force photo by Machiko Arita)
