A Navy Strike Fighter Squadron 106 F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft from Naval Air Station Oceana, Va., performs 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. They are performed by lowering the arresting hook until it engages an arresting cable, which is stretched across the landing area and absorbs the energy of the aircraft once engaged.
