USMC, USAF hot-pit during Kitana Strike
U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Seth Anderson, Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 1 power line plane captain, front, and Lance Cpl. William Hess, MWHS-1 heavy equipment operator, attach a fuel hose to an F-35B Lightning II at Kadena Air Base, Japan, May 4, 2023. Hot-pit refueling uses a pressurized hydrant fueling system to refuel active aircraft, reducing time on the ground and getting the jet back in the air.
