U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 8th Civil Engineer Squadron perform maintenance by extending and flipping the barrier tape on the aircraft arresting system at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 9, 2017. The aircraft arresting system is a barrier used to catch the arresting hook located on fighter aircraft in the event of a malfunction during landing or take off. There are a total of seven aircraft arresting systems on the airfield requiring daily maintenance performed on them to ensure they are operational. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Victoria H.

U.S. Air Force Senior Airmen Daniel Tomasek, 8th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical power production journeyman, signals his counterparts while reeling in the barrier tape on the aircraft arresting system at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 9, 2017. The nylon barrier tape is woven into a rubberized material similar to that found in a golf ball which gives it elasticity. The material must be reeled in on its 66-inch spool properly to ensure that when an aircraft’s hook catches the steel cable the tape can extend a few feet before bringing the out-of-control aircraft to a safe halt.

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 8th Civil Engineer Squadron replace the old end of the nylon tape used for the aircraft arresting system at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 9, 2017. The system includes a 1.25-inch steel cable attached to 1,200 feet of the nylon tape wrapped in a large metal reel. When activated, the reel spins and activates a hydraulic pump which compresses brake pads. Safely bringing the aircraft to a halt in a controlled fashion. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

U.S. Air Force Senior Airmen Daniel Tomasek, 8th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical power production journeyman, uses a hammer to pierce holes in the nylon tape used for the aircraft arresting system at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 9, 2017. The holes allow for the attachment of a connector that hooks to a steel cable strung across the flight line. The system, which is designed to bring out-of-control aircraft to a safe stop, can withstand a tension of approximately 170 pounds per square inch. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Victoria H.

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 8th Civil Engineer Squadron perform maintenance by extending and flipping the barrier tape on the aircraft arresting system at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 9, 2017. The nylon tape that is used has a lifespan of approximately four years, but needs to be flipped every two years due to normal wear and tear. Civil Engineers perform this maintenance to prevent the tape from improperly snapping and potentially causing severe damage to the aircraft in the event of an in-flight emergency.
