Not refueling, they are electrical start cables. There are no fuel tanks in this area.

It doesn’t look like that F-89 is being refueled. In the picture the crew chief appears to be applying electrical power to the aircraft. The only time an aircraft would be refueled while the aircrew is still aboard ( that I am aware of ) is during “hot refuelling”, where the engines are still running. In this case, that is not so as the intake covers are still on.
As a former F-4 crew chief, we always had power on when the aircrew arrived at the aircraft……and the intake covers removed !

Well… May it be a F-89C from 171st Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Michigan Air National Guard ?
