Tech. Sgt. Brandon Hector, a crew chief with the 434th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, monitors and assists with a hot put refuel of a KC-135 Stratotanker at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind. on May 18, 2025. A hot pit refuel is the process of gassing up an aircraft on the ground without fully shutting off all engines, enabling a faster aircraft turn around and resulting in aircraft flying again sooner.
