A day in the life of POL

Airman 1st Class Katlynn Masnyk, 56th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels distribution operator, uses a hammer to loosen a pipe attached to a liquid nitrogen (LIN) cart Aug. 21, 2019, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. Liquid nitrogen’s temperature is minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit which causes the pipe to freeze to the LIN cart. Three to four LIN carts are filled in a week which assists in the process of airing up the F-16 Fighting Falcon’s and F-35A Lightning II’s tires. Masnyk maintains and operates fuels, as well as cryogenics facilities and equipment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Brooke Moeder)
