PACAF Completes ACE Innovation Competition
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jesus Cintron Buitrago, left, 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels environmental & safety officer, helps Master Sgt. Timothy Wiseman, right, 18th LRS fuels operations section chief, reel in a fuel hose during the first KC-135 Stratotanker hot pit refueling in the Pacific at Kadena Air Base, Japan, March 22, 2022. Hot pit refueling uses a single-point refuel pump, allowing an aircraft to be refueled immediately after landing, with the engine running. This procedure is used with fighter jets frequently, but very new to the KC-135 Stratotanker, making it essential to practice and add to the long list of capabilities available to the Pacific Air Forces.
