USMC, USAF hot-pit during Kitana Strike

A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II pilot assigned to Marine Attack Fighter Squadron 121 poses during a hot-pit refueling during exercise Kitana Strike at Kadena Air Base, Japan, May 2, 2023. Hot-pit refueling uses a pressurized hydrant fueling system to refuel active aircraft, reducing time on the ground and getting the jet back in the air.
