RAB Airmen conduct wet-wing defuel operations

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 86th Airlift Wing wait while fuel is transferred from a C-130J Super Hercules aircraft to an R-11 aircraft refuel truck during a wet-wing defuel operation at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, April 3, 2023. A wet-wing defuel operation is the transferring of fuel from an aircraft to a fuel truck while the aircraft engines are still running, making the process for refueling aircraft more efficient while in contested areas.
