220521-N-JO823-2011 PACIFIC OCEAN (May 21, 2022) Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman Curtis Wilkes, from Cartersville, Georgia, secures an air refueling station (ARS) pod of an F/A-18F Super Hornet, attached to the Diamondbacks of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102, in the hangar bay aboard the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). ARS pods allow jets to replenish their fuel midflight, extending the effective range of carrier-borne aircraft. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
