    A U.S. Air Force ground crew operates a TUG brand hybrid aircraft tow tractor on a flight line apron, positioned in front of a U.S. Air Force aircraft bearing tail number 8038. One airman in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) is walking toward the tow vehicle while another operates it from the cab. The scene takes place on a sunny day at what appears to be a military airfield.

    A 154th Maintenance Squadron crew chief does a final walk-around inspection before a U-30 Aircraft Tow Tractor powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology tows the aircraft, July 18, 2019, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The Air Force Research Laboratory on behalf of the Hawaii Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies conducted a demonstration towing on the Stratotanker utilizing a hydrogen fuel cell powered tug. This was the first tug demonstration on a large U.S. Air Force aircraft using the hydrogen fuel cell equipment. The project is a proof of concept demonstration to validate hydrogen fuel vehicle technologies in supporting Air Force mission requirements. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt.

    A military airfield scene showing a green hybrid ground support vehicle positioned in front of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules. Several personnel in military uniforms and civilian clothing are present on the tarmac. A hangar building is visible in the background on the right side.
    A U.S. Air Force aircraft, tail number 8038, marked as belonging to Hawaii ANG (Air National Guard), is parked on a flight line tarmac. Several military personnel in camouflage uniforms and a few civilians are gathered near the nose of the aircraft. A TUG aircraft tow vehicle is positioned in the foreground to the left.
    U.S. Air Force personnel are gathered on a flight line around a large military aircraft marked '8038' and 'U.S. AIR FORCE,' which appears to be a KC-135 or similar tanker/transport aircraft. A tow bar is connected to the nose gear of the aircraft, linking it to a ground support vehicle on the right. Several airmen in camouflage uniforms appear to be conducting a briefing, inspection, or towing operation.
    Military personnel in U.S. Air Force uniforms are working on a flight line apron, handling a large white cylindrical object near a military ground support vehicle. A building labeled 'HANGAR NO. 9' is visible in the background. One airman observes while holding a tablet device as two others physically maneuver the cylinder.

One airman in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) is walking toward the tow vehicle while another operates it from the cab. The scene takes place on a sunny day at what appears to be a military airfield.
    A military 'Fuel Cell Electric' tug vehicle is towing a U.S. Air Force aircraft on a tarmac at what appears to be a Hawaii Air National Guard base. The green tug, operated by a uniformed service member, is connected to the nose gear of a large gray military aircraft. Onlookers and additional personnel are visible in the background near a hangar.
    A military fuel cell electric tug/tow vehicle is shown on an airfield apron, with at least two occupants inside the cab and a uniformed Air Force airman standing alongside it. In the background, a U.S. Air Force aircraft (appears to be a KC-135 or similar tanker) is visible on the tarmac near a hangar. The vehicle is painted olive drab green and features a yellow tow bar attachment at the front.
    A large U.S. Air Force military aircraft, consistent with a KC-135 Stratotanker or similar multi-engine jet, is being towed out from under an open-sided aircraft shelter on a military flight line. A green ground support tow vehicle is attached to the nose gear, pulling the aircraft forward onto the tarmac. The setting appears to be a warm-weather military air base under clear, partly cloudy skies.
    U.S. Air Force personnel in military uniforms are handling what appears to be a training munition or inert ordnance near a military vehicle. The airmen are working together to load or secure the white cylindrical object into a yellow mounting fixture on the back of a dark green military truck. A U.S. Air Force unit insignia patch is visible on the vehicle.
    A U.S. Air Force aircraft, identifiable as a KC-135 Stratotanker, is positioned under a large open-sided aircraft shelter on a military flight line. Ground crew personnel in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage and a civilian worker are conducting maintenance or repositioning operations. A military ground support vehicle, appearing to be a fuel cell or tow vehicle, is positioned adjacent to the aircraft.
