Co, 3-25 "Hammerheads" as a fuel source for other aircraft. The CH-47 can carry several 800-gallon fuel system tanks in its cabin where are then used to refuel other aircraft. This method allows for forwarding Arming and Refueling Points (FARP) in areas where ground resources may not be feasible. (U.S. Army Photo by MSG Lekendrick Stallworth)
