Barrier Airmen re-bolt BAK-12 Aircraft Arresting systems

Members from the 18th Civil Engineer Squadron work to remove and clean sheave rollers prior to reinstalling a BAK-12 Aircraft Arresting System on the flightline of Kadena Air Base, Japan, April 7, 2014. The BAK-12 Aircraft Arresting System uses nylon tape that absorbs the energy when the tail hook of an aircraft engages the barrier safely helping to stop the aircraft during its landing.
