U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jesus Cintron Buitrago, right, 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels environmental & safety officer, monitors fuel levels with Master Sgt. Timothy Wiseman, left, 18th LRS fuels operations section chief, during the first KC-135 Stratotanker hot pit refueling in the Pacific at Kadena Air Base, Japan, March 22, 2022. Hot pit refueling uses a single-point refuel pump which allows an aircraft to be refueled immediately after landing, with the engine running. This procedure is used with fighter jets frequently, but very new to the KC-135 Stratotanker, making it essential to practice and add to the long list of capabilities available to the Pacific Air Forces.
