Super Hornet trains arrested landing

A U.S. Air Force firefighter unhooks the arresting cable from the tailhook of a U.S. Navy Strike Fighter Squadron 106 F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft after an arrested landing at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., Oct 16, 2019. Arrested landings allow pilots to achieve rapid deceleration when landing aboard an aircraft carrier by attaching a tailhook to a cable, which absorbs the energy of the aircraft.
