    A nighttime scene on a military or civilian airfield showing a large aircraft, likely a tiltrotor or turboprop, illuminated by a pink/magenta beacon light on its rotor assembly. Ground crew personnel are visible as silhouettes moving around the aircraft on the tarmac. The scene is lit by a combination of airfield perimeter lights and the aircraft's own lighting, creating a dramatic low-light atmosphere.

    Airmen assigned to the 1st Special Operations Logistics Readiness Squadron conduct a hot refuel of a U-28A during Forward Area Refueling Point training on Hurlburt Field, Fla., May 7, 2015. FARP first came about after the 1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt. After this event, the Air Force realized the need for a highly-efficient way to transfer fuel from one aircraft to another, in non-standard and hostile environments.
