RAB Airmen conduct wet-wing defuel operations

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