The hydrant truck acts as a portable pump, moving fuel between the aircraft and the fuel storage tanks below the flightline, filtering it during the process. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.

This process is much faster than using tanker trucks to refuel aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Chad Warren)(RELEASED)
