    Military personnel are conducting a helicopter insertion or extraction operation in dusty, arid terrain. A large military helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk type, is on or near the ground while soldiers move around it under heavy rotor wash. The scene is heavily obscured by dust and debris kicked up by the rotor blades.

    Military personnel in full combat gear are crouching and bracing against intense rotor wash and dust kicked up by a helicopter landing or hovering nearby. The scene captures a brownout condition — a dangerous low-visibility environment caused by helicopter downwash in arid terrain. At least two soldiers are visible moving through the dust cloud toward or away from the aircraft.
    Angel Thunder 17
    Three armed military personnel in tactical gear are walking toward a helicopter that is either landing or taking off in a dusty, arid environment. The rotor wash from the helicopter is kicking up a significant dust cloud, reducing visibility in the background. The scene appears to depict a military insertion or extraction operation in a sparse, scrub-vegetation landscape.
