Air Force Senior Airman Samuel Cardy, 33rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron F-35A Lightning II crew chief, marshalls a 33rd Fighter Wing F-35A Lightning II aircraft after a hot-pit refuel at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 25, 202. The hot pit refueling process decreases changeover time between sorties by eliminating the need for inter-flight inspections required after the engine is turned off.
