Senior Airman Jacob Prine checks the fuel connection to a F-15 Eagle Oct. 22, 2010, prior to a flight test of new, environmentally-friendly fuel. Aircrews from the 46th Test Wing and Air Force engineers evaluated flight parameters using a blend of standard JP-8 fuel and hydro-treated, renewable jet biofuel. The Air Force is working toward changing half of the continental jet fuel requirement to alternative fuels by 2016.
