    A U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is captured in flight against a pale blue sky. The aircraft bears the number '09' on its fuselage and tail code '6725' with unit markings 'ES'. Both rotors are in the horizontal (airplane mode) position with visible motion blur indicating active rotation.

    An MV-22B Osprey assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 266 (Reinforced), 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), flies past the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), at sea, Sept. 24, 2013. The 26th MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force forward-deployed to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility aboard the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group serving as a sea-based, expeditionary crisis response force capable of conducting amphibious operations across the full range of military operations.

    The image shows a military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, photographed from below against a clear light blue sky. The aircraft bears the number '09' on its fuselage and appears to be in forward flight with its rotors tilted in a transitional or airplane-mode configuration. The lighting suggests late afternoon or early morning sun, casting the underside of the aircraft in partial shadow.
    A military jet aircraft, identifiable as an AV-8B Harrier II, is taxiing on what appears to be the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. A flight deck crew member wearing a yellow jersey and helmet is signaling with both arms raised toward the aircraft. Exhaust smoke or heat haze is visible in the background, indicating the aircraft's engines are running.
    A U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is captured in flight against a pale blue sky. The aircraft bears the number '09' on its fuselage and tail code '6725' with unit markings 'ES'. Both rotors are in the horizontal (airplane mode) position with visible motion blur indicating active rotation.
    Two MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft are visible, one airborne in hover/landing configuration and one on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel. Both aircraft have their rotors in the vertical (helicopter) mode with blades spinning, indicated by motion blur. The scene appears to be over open ocean, likely during flight operations from an amphibious assault ship.
    Two military jet aircraft are flying in close formation against a clear blue sky. Both aircraft appear to be the same type, identifiable by their distinctive anhedral tail configuration and swept wings consistent with an F-4 Phantom II design. The aircraft are photographed from below at a slight angle, appearing as dark silhouettes against the bright sky.
    A military jet aircraft, consistent with a Harrier-type VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, is captured in flight with a large plume of brownish exhaust or dust trailing downward beneath it. The aircraft appears to be in a near-vertical or short takeoff configuration, indicated by the downward-directed thrust exhaust. The overcast, hazy sky provides a muted gray background that contrasts with the dark silhouette of the aircraft.
    A military jet aircraft, consistent with an AV-8B Harrier II, is performing a short takeoff or vertical takeoff from what appears to be the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship. The aircraft's vectored thrust nozzles are directing exhaust downward, producing a visible plume of dark smoke and heat distortion beneath the aircraft. The ocean is visible in the background beyond the ship's deck edge.
    A military jet aircraft, consistent with a Harrier-type VTOL/STOVL aircraft, is performing a vertical or short takeoff from what appears to be a naval vessel flight deck. Two flight deck crew members wearing yellow jerseys and helmets with ear protection are observing the launch. Dark exhaust smoke is visible beneath the aircraft as it climbs.
    A military VTOL/STOVL jet aircraft, consistent with an AV-8B Harrier II, is hovering or performing a vertical landing on what appears to be the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship. A flight deck crew member wearing a yellow vest labeled 'FLT DK' and a white/orange helmet stands on the deck observing the aircraft. The jet exhaust has kicked up a large plume of brownish dust or smoke behind the aircraft.
    A military jet aircraft, identifiable as an AV-8B Harrier II, is performing a vertical or short takeoff from what appears to be the deck of an amphibious assault ship. Two flight deck crew members in yellow vests and helmets are observing the aircraft as it lifts off, with exhaust smoke visible in the background. The scene depicts a standard carrier/amphibious deck flight operations scenario.
