Airmen from the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Contingency Response Group and 165th Airlift Squadron offload aviation fuel from a C-130J Super Hercules Aircraft to an R-11 refueling truck in support of a major earthquake-response exercise at Barkley Regional Airport in Paducah, Ky., May 13, 2025. The specialized fueling operation, which can be conducted even while aircraft engines are running, is a logistics multiplier that enables C-130s to quickly supply fuel for use by helicopters at remote airfields, which might otherwise lack electrical power or the necessary infrastructure following an earthquake.
