    A U.S. Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet takes off from Grayling Army Airfield in Grayling, Michigan after completing a successful test for certification of the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS) on June 26, 2024.

    The MAAS was installed at the Grayling Army Airfield specifically to support the Blue Angels performance at the National Cherry Festival Airshow in Traverse City, Michigan which took place on June 29-30, 2024. The MAAS is critical for the safe landing of high-performance aircraft like the Blue Angels' F/A-18 Hornets. These systems, which include hook cables and barriers, are essential for stopping aircraft within a short distance, ensuring safety in emergency situations. Regular maintenance and testing, such as the exercises conducted at Camp Grayling, are vital to keep the system operational. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Jennifer Caverson)
