    Two military jet aircraft are photographed in flight against an overcast gray sky. Both aircraft appear to be twin-engine fighter jets, likely F/A-18 Hornets or Super Hornets, captured in a banking maneuver. The aircraft are viewed from below at different angles, with the right aircraft in a steep bank and the left in a more level attitude.

    Two F/A-18 Super Hornets fly over the flight deck of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during Keen Sword 17 (KS17). KS17 is a biennial, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed, U.S. Pacific Command-sponsored field training exercise (FTX). KS17 is a joint/bilateral FTX designed to meet mutual defense objectives by increasing combat readiness and interoperability between Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) and U.S. forces. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Five (CSG 5), is on patrol in the Philippine Sea supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
