    A twin-turboprop military aircraft is being marshaled on a flight line apron in what appears to be a desert environment. A ground crew member is directing the aircraft using orange marshaling wands with arms raised. The setting includes tan fabric arch hangars typical of forward operating bases in arid regions.
    A twin-engine turboprop aircraft is on final approach to land at a desert airfield in hazy, dusty conditions. A runway distance marker displaying the number '3' is visible in the foreground. The surrounding terrain is arid with sparse desert scrub vegetation.
