    Military personnel are gathered on what appears to be a naval vessel flight deck near a tiltrotor aircraft (likely an MV-22 Osprey). Personnel are wearing various colored jerseys and flight deck safety gear including helmets, goggles, and hearing protection. A salute is being rendered by the individual in the green jersey toward a senior officer in khaki uniform.
    A VIP observer wearing a blue helmet and ear protection watches from the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD-1) as an MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft prepares to take off or land. Multiple personnel in blue and yellow vests are visible on the deck, with the ship's superstructure visible in the background. The scene depicts active flight operations on a naval amphibious assault ship under clear skies.
