A member of the Royal Australian Air Force refuels a RAAF F/A-18 from a KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport while being observed by a Japan Air Self Defense Force tanker pilot during a flight in support of Cope North 13 near Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, Feb. 13, 2013. In the RAAF's new KC-30A, the refuel systems are controlled by an Air Refuelling Operator in the cockpit, who can view refuelling on 2D and 3D screens. Cope North is an annual air combat tactics, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief exercise designed to increase the readiness and interoperability of the U.S. Air Force, Japan Air Self-Defense Force and Royal Australian Air Force.
