Staff Sgt. Nicholas Wisnoski, 17th Special Operations Squadron loadmaster, turns off a defueling pump an a MC-130P Combat Shadow March 17. The FARP members defueled the MC-130P and fueled four fuel bladders worth 36,000 pounds of JP-8 fuel. FARPs allow aircraft to operate at distances further from original airport that it took off by allowing the aircraft to stop and refuel where typically no fuel is at. The FARP team is capable of providing fuel to remote and austere locations. The fuel at Yamagata Airport will be used for American forces search and recovery teams during Japans earthquake and tsunami relief.
