U.S. Air Force Airman Jaden Stevenson, left, 18th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical power production apprentice, and Airman 1st Class Clint Merritt, 18th CES electrical power production journeyman, secure the cable of the BAK-12 aircraft arresting system following a barrier arresting kit certification at Kadena Air Base, Japan, May 7, 2026. The blocks are spaced to ensure the system’s cable maintains minimum clearance thresholds, preventing the aircraft’s tail hook from skipping over the barrier cable.
