F-35A Lightning II hot pit refueling
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. James Ragsdale, 380th Air Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels distribution operator, adjusts the settings on an R-11 refueling truck during an F-35A Lightning II hot pit refueling on the Al Dhafra Air Base flightline, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 29, 2020. A hot pit refueling is the process in which ground crew Airmen refuel an aircraft while its engines are still running, minimizing the time required to get the aircraft airborne again. This capability enhances the readiness of the wing and ability to execute the air tasking order. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Anna-kay Ellis)
