Hot Refuel
The 186th Air Refueling Wing recently performed a "hot refueling," this procedure is fairly new to the 186th ARW and consists of an aircrew and a ground crew. The term "hot refueling" stems from leaving one of the engines on during a refuel. This procedure is found to be more efficient according to Lt. Col. Brad Anthony, Chief of Aircrew Training with the 186th ARW stating that, " This process saves time by allowing us to get aircraft back in the air at a faster rate." Tech. Sgt. Jermarcus Thedford, Crew Chief with the 186th ARW, led the hot refuel and emphasized the importance of possessing the proper skill level to ensure mission efficiency
