YAMAGATA AIRPORT, Japan -- Staff Sgt. Nicholas Wisnoski, a 17th Special Operations Squadron loadmaster, turns off a defueling pump on a MC-130P Combat Shadow here March 17. Airmen with the 17th SOS and a 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron Forward Area Refueling Point Team defueled the MC-130P and fueled four fuel bladders with 36,000 pounds of JP-8 fuel. FARPs allow aircraft to operate at further distances by providing fuel to aircraft where typically no fuel is available. The FARP team is capable of providing fuel to remote and austere locations.The fuel here will be used for search and recovery teams supporting Japan's earthquake and tsunami relief.
