    An aerial photograph taken from a tanker aircraft showing a fighter jet in close proximity, likely during an air-to-air refueling operation. The fighter aircraft, identifiable by its delta-canard wing configuration consistent with a Saab JAS 39 Gripen, is photographed from above and slightly forward. Clouds and what appears to be a snow-covered or icy landscape are visible far below.

    A Swedish JAS-39 Gripen returns to the play areas of the Arctic Challenge exercise Sept. 24, 2013, over Norway, after taking on fuel from a U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotanker. The JAS-39, in coordination with aircraft from other nations, formed a Blue assault force, which had to bypass or neutralize an opposing Red force attempting to stop them from an overall objective outlined in the day’s scenario.

    Two U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle fighter jets are flying in formation above a cloud layer, photographed from what appears to be a tanker or accompanying aircraft. The nearest aircraft displays 'LN' tail codes, indicating assignment to the 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath, UK. The image is taken against a bright sky with visible lens flare from direct sunlight.
    A close-up aerial photograph taken from above showing a military jet fighter cockpit with a pilot seated inside wearing a flight helmet and oxygen mask. The image appears to be taken from a tanker aircraft during an aerial refueling operation, given the proximity and angle. The two-seat cockpit canopy is clearly visible with the pilot in the front seat and an empty or occupied rear seat area.
    A Swedish Air Force Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter jet with tail number 285 is photographed in flight above a cloud layer. The aircraft is approaching a refueling drogue basket extended from a tanker aircraft, indicating an aerial refueling operation in progress. The aircraft is painted in standard gray livery and carries external stores including fuel tanks and what appear to be missiles.
    A military fighter jet, identifiable as an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is photographed from above during aerial refueling, as indicated by the extended refueling probe visible at the nose. The aircraft is captured in a top-down perspective against a backdrop of clouds and what appears to be a body of water or terrain far below. The image is taken from a tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar refueling platform.
    A military jet fighter aircraft is photographed in flight above a cloud layer, captured from a slightly elevated forward angle. The aircraft appears to be an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, identifiable by its twin vertical stabilizers and characteristic twin-engine configuration. The aircraft is carrying external stores including missiles and fuel tanks under its wings.
