USAF practises hot-pit refuelling technique

The US Air Force’s (USAF) 23d Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) has practised hot-pit style of refuelling to eliminate extra maintenance and to extend pilot training time for each flight.

The hot pitting technique allows aircraft to land and refuel without stopping their engines.
