Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) completes its first fly-in recovery of an F/A-18E Super Hornet at the Runway Arrested Landing Site in Lakehurst, New Jersey, Oct. 13. Conducted as part of AAG performance testing, this event follows more than 200 roll-in arrestments completed since late March. "This milestone test event demonstrates AAG's capability, and signifies a big step forward in getting the system ready for duty onboard the Navy's newest aircraft carrier, [Pre-commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78)]," said Capt. Stephen Tedford, Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment program manager.
