Barrier engaged

RAF MILDENHALL, England – Staff Sgt. Vincent Rizzo, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron barrier maintenance team, works with firefighters to reset the spacing between rubber “donuts” on one of two aircraft arresting cables here after an exercise Sept. 22. The donuts hold the arresting cable two inches off the runway so it can be easily grabbed by an aircraft’s tailhook in an emergency. The gear was engaged by an F-15 in a required annual test of the aircraft arresting system. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Austin M. May)
