Offutt reestablishes fuel system lost in flood, increases capability

Airman 1st Class William Copeland 55th Logistic Readiness Squadron fuels preventative maintenance, drags a hose from an R-12 refueling truck to the Type III Underground Fuel System during a demonstration June 16, 2020. While the system was down, the 55th LRS Fuels Flight was required to use a R-11 refueling truck to fuel aircraft. Using the R-11 refueler has a limited tank capacity and slower fueling speed and requires more POL Airmen to man it.
