    The image is taken from the open rear cargo ramp of a military transport aircraft during an airdrop operation over open water. A wooden cargo pallet with a drogue/extraction parachute deployed above it is visible suspended in mid-air just outside the aircraft. Clouds, ocean surface, and a distant landmass or island are visible in the background.

    A "hard duck" rescue boat prepared by pararescuemen of the 103rd Rescue Squadron of the 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard heads out the back of a Hawaii Air National Guard C-17 into the waters off Marine Base Hawaii in Hawaii on March 6, 2017. The New York Air National Guard pararescuemen, as well as active Air Force pararescuemen were testing equipment which would be used to support Orion astronauts in the event of a contingency recovery operation.

    The image is taken from the open rear cargo ramp of a military transport aircraft during an airdrop operation over open water. A wooden cargo pallet with a drogue/extraction parachute deployed above it is visible suspended in mid-air just outside the aircraft. Clouds, ocean surface, and a distant landmass or island are visible in the background.
    Two personnel wearing red shirts, helmets, and life vests are operating on an inflatable rubber boat (IRB/Zodiac-type craft) on open ocean water. A large military transport aircraft, consistent with a C-17 Globemaster or similar heavy-lift aircraft, is visible flying overhead in the background. The scene appears to depict a maritime rescue or military water operations exercise.
    The image shows what appears to be a water rescue or recovery operation in open ocean, likely near Hawaii based on the distinctive mountainous coastline visible in the background. Three individuals wearing helmets and what appear to be rescue/dive gear are positioned around a large inflatable structure with orange, yellow, and green coloring floating on the water. The inflatable device appears to be a recovery or flotation platform, possibly used for spacecraft splashdown recovery or maritime rescue training.
    A water rescue or recovery operation is taking place on open ocean, with multiple personnel on a black inflatable boat (RIB) attending to a person lying prone on the vessel. In the foreground, an orange inflatable life raft or rescue float sits at water level. Several crew members appear to be wearing life vests, helmets with cameras, and rescue gear.
