Va. RED HORSE Supports Air Show, Blue Angels
192nd Wing - Virginia Air National Guard
Video by Master Sgt. Carlos Claudio
June 8, 2016 | 1:00
The hook on a Blue Angels F/A-18 A Hornet, traveling at 100 knots or over 115 miles per hour, catches the aircraft arresting system cable as part of a system test at Fort Pickett, Army National Guard Maneuver Training Center, Blackstone Army Airfield, May 19, 2016. The arresting cable was installed by 13 Airmen from the Virginia Air National Guard, 203rd RED HORSE Squadron and with two subject matter experts from the Ohio Air National Guard, 200th RED HORSE Squadron. The arresting gear installation supported the nearby Lynchburg Air Show, May 20-21. Used primarily to halt jets landing on aircraft carriers, an arresting cable is the mechanical system capable of swiftly decelerating an aircraft as it lands, usually preventing mishaps and injuries in an emergency.
