A U.S. Air Force aircraft maintainer assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, marshals a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft in order to complete the first-ever hot-pit refuel of a KC-135 in Afghanistan, April 27, 2021. Hot-pit refueling is another term for an engine-running refuel while the aircraft is grounded, minimizing the time required for maintenance and inspections.
