U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Elijah Faulk, left, a bulk fuel specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Futenma, and Cpl. Alexander Rodriguez, a plane captain with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115, detach a fuel hose from an F/A-18 Hornet aircraft at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, 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)
