 would be a feat indeed if they got all four up in one day, let's hope they do
I like the optimism, but that ship has already sailed! Tonight's single is 110, one of the two that went out today.

Are these proper equipped hot pits with underground fuel hydrants and fire suppression systems or just an area where bowsers and fire trucks go?

Underground fuel hydrant pits, no fire suppression except from the crash station which is next door.

They are being referred to by the crews on the B-1s as hot pits, that’s all I know.

The USAF in Europe & Africa Facebook page has just shared a post detailing today’s mission involving Stork Flt which used the VIPER hot pit kit system at Spangdahlem.

I believe one bay at least was certified for official hot pit at the previous B-1 deployment. The USAF safety officer who signed it off told me this at the time.
