    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft looking downward along its refueling boom. A military jet aircraft is positioned directly below the boom in the receiver position, while a second large multi-engine aircraft (likely another tanker or transport) is visible in the background at a greater distance. The scene takes place at high altitude over a partially cloud-covered ocean or large body of water.

    A U.S. Air Force KC-10 Extender moves in to be refueled by another KC-10, both crewed by members of the 78th Air Refueling Squadron, 514th Air Mobility Wing, over the Atlantic Ocean July 15, 2017. The KC-10 is an Air Mobility Command advanced tanker and cargo aircraft designed to provide increased global mobility for U.S. Armed Forces and is assigned to the 305th Air Mobility Wing and is maintained and flown by the 514th Air Mobility Wing, Air Force Reserve Command and the 305th. Both units are located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Mark C. Olsen/Released)

    GALLERY

    Two military aviators are seated in the cockpit of a large aircraft, approaching a tanker aircraft for aerial refueling. The view through the windshield shows a four-engine jet aircraft (likely a KC-135 or similar tanker) directly ahead with a refueling boom extended downward. The right-seat pilot wears a US Army/Air Force flight suit with an American flag patch visible on the shoulder.
    Two military aircrew members are seated in the cockpit of a large military aircraft, viewed from behind. Through the windscreen, another large military transport aircraft is visible in close proximity, indicating an aerial refueling or formation flying operation. Both crew members are wearing olive drab flight suits, headsets, and one has a visible US flag patch on his right shoulder.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft looking downward along its refueling boom. A military jet aircraft is positioned directly below the boom in the receiver position, while a second large multi-engine aircraft (likely another tanker or transport) is visible in the background at a greater distance. The scene takes place at high altitude over a partially cloud-covered ocean or large body of water.
    A close-up aerial photograph of the cockpit nose section of a military aircraft, serial number 60027, likely a KC-135 Stratotanker or similar large military tanker/transport aircraft. The image is taken from directly in front of and above the aircraft, revealing the distinctive multi-panel windscreen arrangement with crew members visible inside. Several crew members wearing flight gear and sunglasses are visible through the cockpit windows.
    A close-up aerial photograph taken from above showing the nose and forward fuselage of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-17 Globemaster III, in flight. The image appears to be taken from a tanker aircraft during or near an aerial refueling operation, as evidenced by the refueling receptacle visible on top of the nose. The aircraft is painted in standard US Air Force gray livery and is flying above a partly cloudy sky.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of the tanker aircraft looking down at the receiver aircraft. A large military transport or tanker jet is positioned directly below, with a refueling boom extending from the top of the frame toward the receiver aircraft's fuselage. The scene is set over open ocean with scattered cloud cover visible far below.
    Close-up aerial photograph of the nose section of a military aircraft, specifically showing the cockpit windows and refueling receptacle area. The serial number '60027' is clearly stenciled on the fuselage. The angle suggests this image was taken from a tanker aircraft during or near an aerial refueling operation.
    Two military aircrew members in olive green flight suits are seated at an aircraft systems console, likely aboard a large military aircraft such as a C-130 or similar transport/patrol aircraft. The foreground operator is wearing aviation headphones and sunglasses while operating controls on an instrument panel. The setting appears to be an in-flight crew station with multiple gauges, switches, and electronic equipment visible.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of the tanker aircraft looking downward through the boom operator's window. A military transport or tanker aircraft is positioned below, connected to or approaching the refueling boom extending from the upper aircraft. The scene is set at high altitude above a cloud layer with blue sky visible on the horizon.
    A U.S. Air Force KC-10 Extender aerial refueling tanker aircraft is photographed in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft is painted in standard military gray livery and is captured from a slightly elevated angle, revealing its distinctive tri-engine configuration. The 'U.S. AIR FORCE' marking is clearly visible on the fuselage.
    Two military personnel in olive green flight suits are seated at an operational workstation inside what appears to be a military aircraft. Both individuals are wearing aviation headsets and sunglasses while monitoring screens and controls. The setting suggests an airborne mission operations environment, likely aboard a surveillance, tanker, or command aircraft.
    An aerial close-up photograph taken from above showing a U.S. Air Force aircraft receiving fuel via aerial refueling. A refueling boom from a tanker aircraft (visible at the top of the frame) is connected to the receiver aircraft's refueling receptacle located on the upper fuselage. The receiver aircraft bears the serial number '60027' and 'U.S. AIR FORCE' markings, consistent with a C-17 Globemaster III.
    The image shows an aerial refueling operation in progress, viewed from the tanker aircraft looking down at the receiver aircraft's refueling receptacle. A boom nozzle is inserted into the open refueling receptacle on the top of the receiver aircraft's fuselage. The aircraft surface displays standard aerial refueling alignment markings in black, including a shield-shaped border and cross/arrow directional guides.
    A military aerial refueling tanker aircraft is photographed from below against an overcast sky. The aircraft is painted in a uniform gray military finish and is captured in straight-and-level flight. The view provides a clear underside perspective showing the full wingspan, fuselage, and tail assembly.
    A military aerial refueling tanker aircraft is photographed from below and slightly ahead, providing a clear ventral view of the fuselage, wings, and engines. The aircraft is painted in a uniform gray military finish and is flying through an overcast sky. The perspective suggests the photo was taken from another aircraft flying in close formation ahead of and below the tanker.
