Exercise WestPac Rumrunner III
An Airman from the 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron prepares to refuel an F-15C Eagle during Exercise WestPac Rumrunner at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Japan, Oct. 16, 2020. The forward air refueling point mission supports contingency and exercise operations to refuel aircraft and equipment in austere locations where typical air-to-air refueling or established refueling stations are not available. “We’re testing our capabilities with the F-15 and the mechanic’s ability to deploy to a forward operating location,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jeff Farris, 67th Aircraft Maintenance Unit production superintendent. “We’re doing FARP operations here, which is refueling off the back of a C-130 as well as loading missiles onto the center-body of the two F-15s.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
