An F-35A Lightning II assigned to the 159th Fighter Squadron rests on the runway at Jacksonville International Airport with a barrier arresting system cable attached to its tail hook during a certification test. As part of post-engagement procedures, Airmen from the 125th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron prepare the jet for towing. The arresting system, designed to rapidly decelerate aircraft during emergency landings or aborted takeoffs, was tested to validate procedures and ensure mission readiness.
