20th CES Conducts Aircraft Arresting Systems Overhaul

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Tedy Pierre, an electrical power production apprentice assigned to the 20th Civil Engineer Squadron, removes old adhesive from a pit as part of a ten-year-overhaul for the aircraft arresting systems at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, July 10, 2026. The underground concrete vaults are utilized to house the Barrier Arresting Kit 12 (BAK-12) energy absorbers which act as the last line of defense to slow an aircraft in the event of an emergency when the aircraft cannot stop on its own.
