There are four Polish Air Force Oshkosh R-11 fuel trucks at Lask Air Base that support refueling operations for U.S. and Polish aircraft participating in Exercise EAGLE TALON, BALTOPS 14 and U.S. Aviation Detachment Rotation 14-3 activities. The trucks pump approximately 600 gallons of fuel per minute. This is the first time hot pit refueling has been done in Poland by U.S. Forces.
