Rapid refueling keeps jets in the sky

A 20th Fighter Wing F-16CM Fighting Falcon pilot waits in the cockpit while being hot-pit refueled at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Jan. 28, 2016. Hot-pit refueling, a procedure used to rapidly refuel aircraft during combat situations, typically takes between 10 and 15 minutes before the aircraft returns to the sky.
