Check Six – 1990s: Refuelers on the Job

Hawaii Air National Guard photograph

Retiree News asked Glenn Sugawara (on the left) about this photograph.

The person in the photo is Norman Kurata, a drill status member. It must have been during one of our UTAs. Believe the timeframe was around the late 80’s to mid 90’s. 

Glenn served as technician for most of his HIANG career. When he retired, he was a chief master sergeant and the fuels superintendent.

Refuelers continue to be an important part of the flightline team that keep the Hawai’i Air National Guard aircraft flying.
