A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor assigned to the 525th Fighter Squadron refuels at a hot pit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, April 6, 2020. A hot pit is a procedure for refueling an aircraft while the jet’s engines continue to run, thus enabling maximum efficiency with minimum manpower. The Raptor flew a training sortie to support mission readiness by preserving combat capability. The continued focus on readiness demonstrates the installation’s resiliency and interest in maintaining postured for the future throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
