    A NATO E-3 Sentry AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft is receiving a traditional water cannon salute on an airport tarmac. A red NATO fire truck labeled '7' is spraying two arching streams of water over the aircraft, creating a rainbow effect. This ceremony typically marks a significant occasion such as a retirement, final flight, or milestone event.
    A ground crew member in a high-visibility yellow vest is marshalling an aircraft on a tarmac, with a ceremonial water cannon salute arching over the incoming plane. At least three Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft are visible on the flight line, identifiable by their distinctive rotodome radar discs mounted above the fuselage. The scene appears to be a military airfield ceremony, likely marking a significant arrival or departure.
