Hot refueling on the fly

Tech. Sgt. Nathan Geist, left, and Senior Master Sgt. Nick Obusek, right, 74th Aerial Refueling Squadron boom operators, pose for a picture after the successful hot refueling of a KC-135R Stratotanker, July 12, 2023, at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan. Hot refueling allows an aircraft’s engines to remain running while being refueled, increasing the capabilities of aircraft to land anywhere, refuel and take-off much faster.
