    A young male military aircrew member is seated at a rear-facing boom operator or observer station inside a large military aircraft, looking out through a large multi-pane window at clouds below. He is wearing a Bose aviation headset with a boom microphone, sunglasses, and an olive drab flight suit, and is holding what appears to be a printed checklist or document. The interior structural elements and instrumentation visible suggest this is likely a military tanker or transport aircraft.

    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Scott Willard, 506th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, prepares to operate the boom of a USAF KC-135 Stratotanker during a B-1B Lancer refuel over the Pacific Ocean March 22, 2017. The 506th EARS is deployed to Andersen from MacDill Air Force Base’s 91st Air Refueling Squadron in support of U.S. Pacific Command’s Continuous Bomber Presence. These forward deployed forces demonstrate continuing U.S. commitment to stability and security in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jacob Skovo)

    A uniformed military or aviation personnel member is inspecting cargo inside what appears to be a military transport aircraft hold. The individual is holding a flashlight and walking alongside large wooden crates or palletized cargo secured with straps. The interior shows typical military cargo aircraft features including insulated walls, cargo rails, and red flooring.
    A person is leaning over a flat surface, appearing to inspect or examine something closely inside what appears to be the interior of a large aircraft, likely a cargo or military transport plane. The curved fuselage walls, wiring bundles, and structural components are visible in the background. The scene suggests a maintenance, inspection, or loading operation taking place.
    A military pilot is seated in the cockpit of what appears to be a large military aircraft, likely a tanker or transport (possibly a KC-135 or similar), on an airfield tarmac. The cockpit is filled with analog and digital instrumentation, including a prominent attitude indicator displaying blue and orange horizon. The aircraft appears to be stationary on the runway or taxiway, with green grass and runway visible through the windscreen.
    The image is taken from inside an aircraft cockpit looking forward through the windshield at another large multi-engine aircraft flying ahead at a similar altitude. The lead aircraft appears to be a large military or commercial transport with four engines visible. Scattered clouds are visible below and around both aircraft under a blue sky.
    A young male military aircrew member is seated at a rear-facing boom operator or observer station inside a large military aircraft, looking out through a large multi-pane window at clouds below.
