A U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18C Hornet assigned to Marine Corps Air Station Naval Fighter Strike Squadron (VMFA) 312 in Beaufort, South Carolina, during annual certification testing of the Aircraft Interception System (AAS) at Yokota Air Force Base in Japan on January 6, 2023, docked on the base's runway. In situations where pilots can't stop the plane during landing, AAS can save lives. In these extreme cases, the arresting system is also activated to prevent any potential damage to the aircraft itself or other airport equipment by parking the aircraft on the runway
