Air Force Airmen assigned to the 62nd Airlift Wing, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, and 366th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, perform a wet-wing defuel on a C-17 Globemaster III during Exercise Rainier War at Mountain Home AFB, April 28, 2021. The WWD is when fuel is pumped out of a C-17 while the engines are running, which greatly increases the speed of the defuel, and it is then used to refuel other aircraft.
