    A military flight line scene showing a large olive-drab MAN military fuel/support truck positioned next to a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon (tail number AF 90-731, tail code 'H') on a concrete apron. Ground crew personnel are visible working around the aircraft, suggesting maintenance or pre-flight servicing operations. The vehicle bears what appears to be a European (likely Hungarian) license plate 'HT51-95' and a hazardous materials placard (UN 1223, indicating kerosene/jet fuel).

    Members assigned to the Hungarian Air Force work side-by-side with members of the Ohio Air National Guard’s 180th Fighter Wing, to refuel the wing’s F-16 Fighting Falcons, May 29, 2017 at Kecskemet Air Base, Hungary. Approximately 150 Airmen and eight F-16 fighter jets from the 180FW traveled to the air base to participate in Load Diffuser 17, a two-week Hungarian-led multinational exercise focused on enhancing interoperability capabilities and skills among NATO allied and European partner air forces by conducting joint operations and air defenses to maintain joint readiness, while also bolstering relationships within the U.S. Air National Guard’s State Partnership Program initiatives. Ohio became state partners with Hungary in 1993. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. Beth Holliker.
