LRS adds white R-11 refueling truck to fleet
Senior Airman Jacob Hartman, 56th Logistic Readiness Squadron fuels distribution operator, checks out the newly painted R-11 refueling truck at the LRS vehicle yard. After receiving waiver approval from the Air Education and Training Command, the 56th LRS had the truck painted white to keep the fuel inside from overheating. The F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter has a fuel temperature threshold and cannot function properly if the fuel temperature is too high. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Luther Mitchell Jr.)
