When brakes fail, catch cable provides stopping line
U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Zachary Paxson, 4th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter driver and operator, reels in excess tape using a BAK-12 during a cable engagement exercise on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., Aug. 21, 2012. The BAK-12 holds the pendant cable in place to ensure the F-15E Strike Eagle’s hook doesn’t become dislodged during an emergency landing.
