    A military turboprop transport aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules configuration, is photographed in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft appears as a dark silhouette viewed from below and slightly behind, surrounded by large cumulus clouds. The image captures the aircraft in level cruise flight at altitude.

    A C-130 J-model assigned to the 37th Airlift Squadron flies into clouds above Lielvarde Air Base, Latvia, June 17, 2014 in part of the exercise Saber Strike 2014. In total, three 37th AS airframes landed on Lielvarde, making them the first ever U.S. Air Force aircraft to land on the runway. The 37th AS aircraft brought approximately 92 Airmen from the 435th Contingency Response Group and equipment needed to build a bare base during the Air Force-specific training.

    A military turboprop transport aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules configuration, is photographed in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft appears as a dark silhouette viewed from below and slightly behind, surrounded by large cumulus clouds. The image captures the aircraft in level cruise flight at altitude.
    A U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft is landing or taking off on a runway, with tire smoke visible beneath the main landing gear. The aircraft bears the tail code 'RS' and serial number '78614', indicating it belongs to the 37th Airlift Squadron based in Ramstein, Germany. The setting appears to be a European airfield, with dense deciduous forest in the background and runway markers indicating runways 18 and 36.
    A military transport aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules configuration, is taxiing on a runway apron. The aircraft is painted in a dark gray military finish and all four turboprop engines appear to be running, as indicated by the visible propeller blur. The setting appears to be a military or joint-use airfield surrounded by dense coniferous forest under an overcast sky.
    Three U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft are parked on a flight line ramp, all bearing the 'RS' tail code indicating assignment to Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The aircraft are painted in standard USAF gray livery with American flag insignia on the tail fins. At least one crew member or ground personnel is visible near the middle aircraft.
