Multipoint Refueling

Tech. Sgt. James Yokom monitors the mirrors that allow him to see the operations of a Multipoint Refueling System, the configuration that allows fuel to transfer from KC-135 Stratotankers to aircraft not equipped to accept the KC-135 refueling boom. The system uses refueling lines that extend from KC-135 wing tips and is usually used for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. Sergeant Yokom is a boom operator assigned to the 931st Operations Support Flight, an Air Force Reserve unit at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Jason Schaap)
