Sailors from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound perform the first-ever 'hot' refueling of a P-8 Poseidon aircraft at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Sailors from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound perform the first-ever 'hot' refueling of a P-8 Poseidon aircraft at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The aircraft taxis to a 'hot pit' on on the flight line where it is refueled while the engines continue to operate. This expanded capability reduces down time and allows the aircraft to return to mission at a faster rate.
