U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Alexis Rognholt, 20th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron tactical aircraft maintainer, guides a pilot on the “hot pits” ramp at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Jan. 3, 2018. Tactical aircraft maintainers are responsible for fueling Shaw F-16CM Fighting Falcons, including during hot pits, a technique that maximizes the number of sorties a squadron can perform in a duty day.
