    U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet aircraft with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115 taxi the runway before taking off from Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, July 28, 2023. July 28, 2023. Hot pit refueling is when aircraft refuel with the engine still running, which drastically reduces their refueling time. This allows units such as Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing to maintain their role as an expeditionary force in the Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. David Getz)
