22nd ATF participates in Silver Flag

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jacob Turner, a fire protection specialist assigned to the 22nd Air Task Force, operates the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System during a Silver Flag exercise at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, April 8, 2025. The MAAS provides a rapid and reliable means of stopping aircraft in emergency situations which is crucial for maintaining air safety and operational readiness in various scenarios, including expeditionary deployments and contingency operations. Exercises like this allow the 22nd ATF to focus on essential skills necessary for executing missions in potential operational wartime environments. (U.S. photo by Airman 1st Class Samantha Thorn)
