Hot pit

Airmen assigned to the 509th Logistics Readiness Squadron and 393rd Bomber Generation Squadron conduct hot-pit refueling for a B-2 Spirit at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., May 28, 2025. Hot-pit refueling is the practice of refueling an aircraft immediately after landing while keeping the engines running, which increases the response time in an operational environment and enables more effective power projection capabilities.
