U.S. Airmen assigned to the 509th Logistics Readiness Squadron conduct hot-pit refueling for a B-2 Spirit aircraft at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, Oct. 7, 2025. Hot-pit refueling is the practice of refueling an aircraft immediately after landing while keeping the engines running, which increases the response time in an operational environment and enables more effective power projection capabilities.
