A Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing, approaches Kadena Air Base, Japan, to receive hot-pit refueling, June 28, 2022. Hot-pit refueling allows the aircraft to keep its engines running while receiving fuel, which minimizes ground time and ensures the mission will continue with minimal delay.
