An Airman connects a fuel hose to an aircraft on the flightline here June 16, 2020 as part of a demonstration of the reestablished capability to fuel aircraft using an R-12 truck and the Type III Underground Fuel System. This was the first fueling done this way since the type III system was damaged in the 2019 flood. While the system was down, the 55th Logistics Readiness Squadron Fuels Flight was required to use R-11 refueling trucks to fuel aircraft. Using the R-11 refueler has a limited tank capacity and slower fueling speed and requires more fuels Airmen to operate it.
