Air Force Airman 1st Class Garrett Leed, an aircraft fuel systems journeyman assigned to the 378th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron, straps an oxygen tank to his hydrazine response suit at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Aug. 25, 2022. If an F-16CJ Fighting Falcon’s engine ever fails in flight it’ll be flooded with hydrazine to buy the pilot about 17 more minutes to decide their jet's fate, if they choose to land or crash land the hydrazine needs to be neutralized before the jet can be saved.
