Pennsylvania Air National Guardsmen with the 171st Air Refueling Wing Maintenance Squadron and Fuels Maintenance, perform a hot pit refuel on a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft during a large-scale readiness exercise (LRE) in McGhee Tyson, Tennessee, March 11, 2023. Hot pit refueling allows a KC-135 to be refueled without completely shutting down, which increases the longevity of the aircraft. A LRE tests Airman readiness and builds upon skills needed to dominate in a contested environment. (U.S. Air National Guard Photo by Tech. Sgt. Kyle Brooks)
