U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 393rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron conduct hot-pit refueling operations for two B-2 Spirit aircraft after integrating with F-22 Raptors, assigned to the Hawaii National Guard, during a Bomber Task Force deployment at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Honolulu, Hawaii, July 1, 2026. Hot-pit refueling is a rapid ground-refueling procedure conducted after an aircraft lands while its engines remain running, reducing turnaround time and enabling aircrews to quickly return to mission operations.
