Air Force special missions aviators assigned to the 23rd Wing hot pit refuel an HH-60W Jolly Green II during exercise Agile Flag 22-2 at Avon Park, Florida, July 25, 2022. Hot pit refueling occurs while aircraft engines are running, eliminating downtime and allowing pilots to quickly return to the mission. Agile Flag 22-2 is Air Combat Command's first lead-wing certification event designed to demonstrate the 23rd Wing's capability to generate combat air power while continuing to move, maneuver, and sustain the Wing and subordinate force elements in a dynamic and contested environment.
