A Air Force Airman with the 355th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron watches an F-15 taxi during hot-pit refueling training on Kadena Air Base, March 9, 2022. The training refined and enhanced the multiple aircraft platform skills of participating Marines, focusing on hot-pit refueling the F-35A Lightning II with limited time, simulating an operational environment. During hot-pit refueling, the aircraft maintains a running engine, which decreases the response time in an operational environment.
