More Information
U.S. Marines with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Futenma participated in flight arrestment training with an F/A-18 Hornet at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 09, 2015. The equipment used in arrested landings help aircraft land within a limited distance, such as on an aircraft carrier or landing strip. MCAS Futenma does not usually take flight arrestments from jet aircraft so this made today’s event a valuable training opportunity for both the Marines on the ground and the pilot of the F/A-18 Hornet.
