    A Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter lands Dec. 9 at Charlie runway on Tinian’s North Field during Exercise Forager Fury II to execute a forward arming and refueling point training. The exercise encompasses fixed and rotary-wing flight operations allowing exploitation of several Marine aviation functions including assault support and fuel storage and distribution. FF II allows Marines and sailors to join forces to expand aviation capabilities. The MH-60 is with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25, stationed at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and red helmets stand near a yellow fire suppression/safety cart on a gravel landing area while a military helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Sikorsky Black Hawk variant, sits on the ground with rotors spinning. The scene appears to be a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) or expeditionary airfield operation. A crew member is visible near the helicopter's door.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identified as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured in a low-altitude hover or landing/takeoff phase over a flat, dusty airstrip. The rotors are tilted upward in helicopter mode, kicking up dust and debris from the ground below. The setting appears to be a remote or austere landing zone surrounded by low tropical vegetation under a partly cloudy sky.
    A group of military personnel in combat uniforms and full gear are preparing to board a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft on a gravel landing zone. The rotors of the Osprey are spinning, indicating the aircraft is powered up and ready for departure. Multiple duffel bags and equipment are staged on the ground in front of the formation.
    A military helicopter, consistent with a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk or similar variant, is captured mid-flight during a takeoff or landing at an unpaved, dusty landing zone. The rotor wash is visibly kicking up large clouds of dust and debris from the dry ground below. The surrounding environment features sparse tropical or semi-arid vegetation under a partly cloudy blue sky.
    A military helicopter, numbered '04', is on the ground at what appears to be a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) in a tropical or subtropical environment. Ground crew personnel are visible alongside the aircraft, which has its rotors spinning, suggesting active operations. A fuel hose is visible in the foreground, indicating a refueling operation is underway.
    A military helicopter, appearing to be a Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawk variant, is captured in a dynamic low-angle photograph with motion blur suggesting it is either landing or taking off from a cleared dirt area. The side door is open and at least one crew member in a high-visibility vest is visible inside. The setting appears to be a tropical or subtropical environment based on the surrounding vegetation.
    A military helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk, is hovering or landing on an unpaved landing zone while ground crew personnel in flight suits and helmets attend to equipment and supplies. The scene appears to be a forward operating base or expeditionary landing zone, with dust being kicked up by the rotor wash. Several personnel are managing cargo containers and wheeled equipment carts on the ground.
    Multiple military helicopters are operating on an unpaved landing zone, generating large dust clouds from rotor wash. Personnel in military uniforms are visible near the aircraft and along the left side of the frame. A yellow ground support equipment cart is visible in the foreground left.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured during a landing or takeoff operation on an unpaved or semi-prepared airstrip. The aircraft's rotors are in the vertical helicopter-mode position, generating a large dust cloud (brownout condition) from the rotor wash. Orange marker panels are visible on the ground, likely used as landing zone indicators.
