Fueling the fight: Dyess modernizes for future missions
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jacob Wells, 7th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels distribution supervisor, connects a R-12 hydrant refueling truck to a hydrant outlet during a hot pit refuel at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, July 8, 2025. Hot pit refueling is a rapid ground refueling method in which aircraft are serviced immediately after landing with engines still running, allowing aircrews to relaunch without shutting down.
