Kadena conducts first KC-135 hot pit refueling in the Pacific

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jesus Cintron Buitrago, left, 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels environmental & safety officer, helps Master Sgt. Timothy Wiseman, right, 18th LRS fuels operations section chief, reel in a fuel hose during the first KC-135 Stratotanker hot pit refueling in the Pacific at Kadena Air Base, Japan, March 22, 2022.
