A Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 242, prepares for a hot refuel at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 5, 2023. Hot refuels allow aircraft to rapidly refuel without powering down their engines, increasing operational readiness and reducing the amount of time needed to get the aircraft back into action.
