The new hybrid Kovatch R-11 that is being tested at Shaw AFB, SC and this one being operated by SrA David Harris.

From www.shaw.af.mil:
"Currently in its second year of evaluation, the Air Force hybrid refueler uses the same pumping system as the other 17 refueling trucks on the flight line, however its extra battery helps conserve both energy and money."

  • @atabist Since when do you need to pull a hose with gloves on??

  • Isn't this the same cat who questioned a 4 star? I remember this guy from kadena... He's a high speed cat. I bet he volunteered for this.

  • I only saw 3 safety violations. No spotter and no hazard lights on and no headlight while driving.

  • Ya'll sound like a bunch of non'ers.... we all know the kid drew the short straw and was told "go hook the truck up to an airplane and put on a show and you will not use any 4 letter words while doing it"

  • I didn't see any violations. I've been out for 4 years but he was wearing ear plugs. it wasn't a metal banded watch and there were no regs about wearing gloves to pull the hose. I wore gloves just to keep my hands cleaner. the crew chief was actually wearing his PPE. I'd be curious to the to the actually fuel savings. when the rumor came out about the hybrid fuel trucks we thought it was a joke and was unanimously thought of as a bad idea

  • FAIL!!!! can you count the safety violations?

  • lol, closing the door with a watch on... pulling a hose with no gloves or ear plugs... but thas all done off the flight line lol.

  • POS

  • Im just and old polcat...thinking of some of our old trucks, anyone remember R-2s?
