Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Patrick Cashin, 111th FW Public Affairs.

Installation of a Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS) on a newly constructed runway is one of the many critical items evaluated by the IG teams. Straddling a runway, the MAAS provides incoming landing aircraft the ability to stop in extremely short distances. Factors such as safety, area security and timeliness play a significant role in the overall rating. On Nov. 17, the 201st RED HORSE Squadron, Detachment 1, installation team broke their past record time during the install, completing the operation in just over 26 minutes, during an ORi held at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, Pa.
