A U.S. Navy Reserve KC-130T refuels an EA-18G Growler, Sept. 11, 2024, over Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland during testing that enabled the service’s fleet of Hercules aircraft to aerially refuel a significantly expanded number of aircraft in early 2025. The testing led by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division significantly expands Hercules’ mission, as well as the mission of the U.S. Navy Reserves which exclusively operates the aircraft.
