@usairforce⛽ Fueling with the engines on ⛽ . macdillafb, Florida, Airmen made history with the first ever hot-pit refuel of a KC-135 Stratotanker on base. Hot pitting is when an aircraft pilot flies a sortie, returns, refuels with engines running, then takes off again for another mission. The KC-135 provides the core aerial refueling capability for the #airforce and has excelled in this role for more than 60 years. . airmobilitycmd | #Airpower#refuel#gas#maintainer#maintenance#aircraft
