While flying over the ocean off the coast of San Diego, an MV-22B Osprey from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 receives fuel from a KC-130J Hercules from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 May 12. In-flight refueling allows the Osprey to stay airborne longer, and pilots are able to provide extended or long-range capabilities to support troops on the ground. This is an advantage the Osprey has over its predecessor, the CH-46E Sea Knight.
