Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants: Fueling the Force
Airman 1st Class Daniel Sage, 27th Special Operations Logistics Readiness Squadron lead preventative maintenance technician, stands by while fueling a CV-22 Osprey at Cannon Air Force Base N.M., Jan. 5, 2021. While waiting for the aircraft to finish fueling, fuels airman must keep their hand on the “dead man” handle, keeping tension. If tension is lost, fuel will cease to continue pumping into the plane. This is a safety measure to keep the aircraft from over-fueling in case of emergency. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Gage Daniel)
