    Capt. Kyle J. Service, right, and Capt. William Seabrook pilot a KC-130J Super Hercules to an aviation-delivered ground refueling exercise on Ie Shima, April 15. The landing zone on Ie Shima consisted of a dirt and gravel road. Most fixed-wing aircraft are unable to land on such terrain. However, the KC-130J has the ability to land at austere airstrips. This ability makes it an excellent aircraft to perform aviation-delivered ground refueling missions. The KC-130J and crew are part of Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Service is the power line officer in charge, and Seabrook is the flight operations officer.
