Nighttime F/A-18 Aerial Refuel
Two F/A-18 Hornet fighter aircraft fly next to an HC-130J Combat King II in preparation for nighttime high-speed air-to-air refuel Feb. 22, 2021. The completion of this milestone supports joint-service interoperability and enhances the success of military operations worldwide. This HC-130J capability increases available assets to conduct operations jointly where other aircraft may not be available, allowing the mission to continue unhindered. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech.
