Airmen assigned to the 319th Special Operations Squadron oversee Forward Area Refueling Point training of a U-28A on Hurlburt Field, Fla., May 7, 2015. FARP first came about after the 1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt. After this event, the Air Force realized the need for a highly-efficient way to transfer fuel from one aircraft to another, in non-standard and hostile environments.
