U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Daniel Moore hoists a fuel hose and nozzle assembly to a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter during a Helicopter in Flight Refueling (HIFR) operation as the air crew hovers above the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf (WMSL 750) while the cutter and crew patrol the Philippine Sea, April 12, 2019. Crews conduct HIFR operations for refueling a hovering helicopter should the aircraft be unable to land when the sea state causes the deck motion beyond safe limits, if the helicopter is too large to land on the flight deck or if the helicopter’s landing gear is experiencing a mechanical failure.
