    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's window of a tanker aircraft, showing a fighter jet receiving fuel mid-flight. The image is taken from below and behind the tanker, looking down through the refueling boom window at the receiver aircraft positioned directly beneath. Clouds and blue sky are visible in the background, indicating high-altitude flight.

    A flying boom on a KC-135R Stratotanker from the 507th Air Refueling Wing, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., connects to an F-15 Eagle assigned to RAF Lakenheath, England, July 19, 2017, to transfer fuel during flight. In a long-standing partnership between the Air Force Reserve Command and U.S. Air Forces in Europe, members of the 507th ARW augmented the 100th ARW at RAF Mildenhall, England, July 1-29, 2017, to provide KC-135R air refueling support and maintenance in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

    Two military pilots are seated in the cockpit of a large military aircraft, appearing to be on final approach to a runway visible through the windscreen. Both crew members are wearing olive drab flight suits, military headsets, and rank insignia patches. The cockpit features an extensive array of analog and digital instrumentation consistent with a large military aircraft such as a KC-135 or similar tanker/transport.
    A U.S. Air Force enlisted member in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) is performing ground servicing operations on a military aircraft, likely a tanker or transport. The airman is connecting or disconnecting a service hose to a panel on the underside of the aircraft fuselage. The scene takes place on a flight line ramp in what appears to be a temperate outdoor environment.
    Two military aviators are seated in the cockpit of a large military aircraft, likely a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III or KC-135 tanker, based on the instrument panel layout. Both crew members are wearing olive drab flight suits with patches and aviation headsets, and appear to be conducting pre-flight checks or actively operating the aircraft. The cockpit features a mix of analog gauges and modern digital displays.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's window of a tanker aircraft, showing a fighter jet receiving fuel mid-flight. The image is taken from below and behind the tanker, looking down through the refueling boom window at the receiver aircraft positioned directly beneath. Clouds and blue sky are visible in the background, indicating high-altitude flight.
    A military aircrew member wearing Bose aviation headsets is seated in what appears to be a tanker aircraft cockpit during an aerial refueling operation. A GoPro Hero action camera is mounted on the cockpit window frame, capturing the scene. Through the cockpit window, a fighter jet (likely an F-15 or similar) is visible in close proximity, connected via a refueling boom.
    Two military personnel are standing beneath the rear fuselage of a large military aircraft on a flight line tarmac. The aircraft displays markings '507' and 'ARW' (Air Refueling Wing) on its tail section, consistent with a KC-135 Stratotanker or similar tanker aircraft. Ground crew appear to be conducting pre-flight or maintenance checks with a yellow hose/cable connected to the aircraft.
    A military aircrew member is seated at a workstation inside a military aircraft, operating equipment and looking through a window or viewport. The individual is wearing an olive green flight suit with a squadron patch reading 'OKIES' and the letters 'SH', along with Bose headphones and glasses. The image is taken from an unusual rotated angle, showing the interior of what appears to be a large military transport or tanker aircraft.
