    A large military helicopter is photographed from below against a clear blue sky, with multiple personnel suspended from a single rope hanging beneath the aircraft. The individuals appear to be in uniform and are clustered along the rope in what appears to be a Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction (SPIE) or similar helicopter extraction technique. The photo is taken from a low angle looking upward, providing a dramatic perspective of the operation.

    Marines perform Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction training on a CH-53E Super Stallion as part of the Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques course Aug. 20 at the Central Training Area. The SPIE rig involves several Marines attaching to one rope and being pulled off the ground. The SPIE rig is most beneficial to insert or extract Marines when they are in a precarious position or the aircraft cannot land. The Marines are with various units across III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Isaac Ibarra/Released)

    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is photographed from a low angle looking upward against a bright blue sky with the sun creating a starburst lens flare. The aircraft appears to be in hover or low-altitude flight mode with its rotors in a near-vertical position. Pine trees are visible in the lower right corner of the frame.
    A military MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft hovers low over a grassy field while personnel conduct a fast-rope insertion exercise. At least one person is visible descending a rope from the open rear ramp of the aircraft, while ground personnel observe from below. The aircraft displays markings consistent with a U.S. Marine Corps unit, with a red tail fin marking and the number '8220' visible.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a V-22 Osprey, hovers at low altitude over a gravel clearing while a person in military-style clothing and a helmet holds a guide rope or static line connected to the aircraft. Two additional personnel are visible in the background observing the operation. The setting appears to be a tropical or subtropical training area with dense green vegetation.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is hovering over a forested area while a soldier rappels down a rope from the open fuselage door. The aircraft's rotors are in motion, visible through motion blur, and a red flag or marker is attached to the top of the fuselage. The scene depicts a military fast-rope or rappelling training or operational exercise.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is landed on a grassy clearing with its rotors spinning. Several military personnel in camouflage uniforms are approaching or boarding the aircraft through its rear ramp. The setting appears to be a wooded or jungle-adjacent landing zone under partly cloudy skies.
    A large military helicopter is photographed from below against a clear blue sky, with multiple personnel suspended from a single rope hanging beneath the aircraft. The individuals appear to be in uniform and are clustered along the rope in what appears to be a Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction (SPIE) or similar helicopter extraction technique. The photo is taken from a low angle looking upward, providing a dramatic perspective of the operation.
