Offutt reestablishes fuel system lost in flood, increases capability

Airman 1st Class William Copeland 55th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels preventative maintenance, refuels an aircraft using an R-12 refueling truck and a Type III Underground Fuel System June 16, 2020. Being without a type III system for 15 months, new Airmen have arrived here from technical training in that time and now have no experience refueling any way other than with the R-11 trucks. Additionally each system is different, so once the rebuild was complete, the contractors trained the fuels team on how to operate the system.
