Robert Viera, 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron KC-135 Stratotanker special projects manager, observes a hot pit refuel certification training May 17, 2021, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. The training allowed F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chiefs from Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, to visit AUAB to learn how the hot pit process is conducted from the experts on KC-135 Stratotanker hot pit refueling in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.

    A military aircraft maintainer in camouflage uniform is conducting a ground inspection beneath a large military aircraft on a flight line. The technician is wearing hearing protection and appears to be performing a pre- or post-flight walkaround check near the main landing gear assembly. A second aircraft is visible in the background on the tarmac.
    Military ground crew personnel are conducting maintenance or inspection work on a large military aircraft on a flight line or tarmac. Four individuals are visible, with two in the foreground wearing hearing protection and olive drab t-shirts, and two silhouetted figures working underneath the aircraft's fuselage. The scene appears to be during daylight hours at a military airfield.
    A military aircraft ground crew member is performing marshalling signals between two large jet engines on a flight line. The individual is wearing standard military utility uniform with hearing protection and a communication headset, connected by a cord to the aircraft. Additional aircraft and a hangar structure are visible in the background.
    A military ground support scene on an airfield tarmac showing a camouflage-painted military truck (numbered 064) parked adjacent to a large military transport aircraft. A service member in military fatigues is standing between the truck and the aircraft's engine nacelle, appearing to perform maintenance or inspection work. The setting appears to be a hot, arid environment consistent with a Middle Eastern or desert air base.
    A military ground crew member in olive drab uniform and multicam boonie hat is handling a fuel nozzle and hose beneath the wing of a military aircraft on a flight line. The individual appears to be disconnecting or repositioning a refueling nozzle after completing a hot-pit or standard refueling operation. In the background, at least one large turboprop military transport aircraft is visible on the tarmac.
    A military aircraft maintainer kneels on a flight line tarmac beneath the wing of a large aircraft, wearing a communication headset and sunglasses while making a hand gesture toward another personnel member in a red safety vest. The scene depicts a pre-flight or maintenance inspection procedure with multiple crew members working around the aircraft. The setting appears to be a hot, arid environment consistent with a forward operating base or desert airfield.
    Two individuals in olive/tan military-style t-shirts are working on what appears to be a fuel or hydraulic coupling connected to a large military aircraft. Both are wearing hearing protection, suggesting a noisy operational environment. The work appears to involve connecting or disconnecting a large hose or fuel nozzle to an aircraft fueling port.
    A technician or ground crew member wearing green ear protection (hearing protection/earmuffs) and an olive/tan t-shirt is working on a fuel or hydraulic coupling assembly attached to what appears to be a military aircraft fuselage. The person is manipulating a valve or connector fitting where a large hose meets the aircraft's plumbing system. The setting appears to be inside or beneath a large military aircraft, likely during a refueling or maintenance operation.
    A military or aviation ground crew member is photographed through a gap between aircraft components, standing near a fuel or cargo tanker truck. The individual is wearing standard military-style field attire and hearing protection, holding what appears to be a fueling nozzle or communication device. The scene appears to be an active flight line or airfield refueling operation.
    A military service member wearing an olive drab t-shirt and green aviation headset is crouched near a large aircraft landing gear tire, speaking into a communication device. The image is captured from a low angle through aircraft components, creating a framed perspective. The individual appears to be performing ground crew duties during aircraft operations.
    A military service member in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform is performing maintenance or fueling operations on a large military aircraft on a flight line or tarmac. The individual is wearing hearing protection and handling what appears to be a fuel nozzle or coupling device connected to a large hose. The scene is captured from a low angle between aircraft components, suggesting an active flight line environment.
    A military ground crew member is working on an aircraft flight line, carrying what appears to be a fuel nozzle or hydraulic coupling. The individual is wearing standard military utility uniform (OCP/MultiCam pattern) with hearing protection headset and safety goggles pushed up on their head. The setting appears to be an active airfield ramp or tarmac.
    A close-up, dramatically backlit photograph of the nose section of a large military aircraft. The fuselage markings indicate serial number 0069, assigned to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing (92 ARW) and 141st Air Refueling Wing (141 ARW), consistent with a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. The image is taken from a low angle against an overcast sky, creating a strong silhouette effect.
    A military or aviation ground crew member stands on a tarmac or airfield, wearing olive drab clothing and green aviation headset with microphone. He is raising his hand and appears to be signaling with three fingers extended, likely directing aircraft or communicating with a crew. An anchor tattoo is visible on his wrist.
    A close-up photograph of a large military or transport aircraft cockpit section, showing a pilot wearing a headset visible through the left-side cockpit window. The aircraft fuselage is painted in a dark matte gray finish, consistent with military aircraft livery. Multiple cockpit windows, rivets, and a windshield wiper are clearly visible.
    A close-up shot of a large turbofan jet engine mounted under the wing of a military aircraft, likely a C-17 Globemaster III or similar large military transport. In the background, at least two turboprop aircraft — consistent with C-130 Hercules variants — are visible on the flight line, one appearing to emit exhaust smoke during engine start. The setting appears to be a desert military airfield based on the arid, hazy environment.
