U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Isaias Espinoza, a fuels distribution operator with the 99th Logistics Readiness Squadron, fuels an F-35A Lightning II during a hot integrated combat turn (ICT) exercise at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, June 23, 2025. During hot ICTs, crews simultaneously refuel and rearm the F-35 with new munitions while the engines remain running. This process significantly reduces weapons and refueling load times, enabling the aircraft to rapidly launch its next sortie. (U.S. Air Force photo by William R. Lewis)
