36th CES replaces jet landing "safety net"
U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Cody Chenowith, 36th Civil Engineer Squadron pavement and equipment operations journeyman, watches as a crane lowers the new Barrier Arresting Kit into place on the flight line at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, April 26, 2021. According to the technical order, BAK-12s are overhauled and replaced every ten years. The BAK-12 feeds a cable across the flight line and, in the case of an in-flight emergency, acts as a mechanical barrier that rapidly decelerates a landing aircraft.
