Fuel for the fight
Under the watchful eye of Senior Airman Charlotte Allen, Senior Master Sgt. James Hamby drags a refueling hose to a waiting A-10 Thunderbolt II during a hot-pit refueling on Whiteman AFB, Mo.'s ramp. The two 442nd Logistics Readiness Squadron reservists assigned to the 442nd Fighter Wing, helped service eight A-10's as the aircraft landed, refueled and took off again during an exercise designed to enable pilots to quickly return to the fight.
