    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a CV-22 or MV-22 Osprey variant, is captured in flight over a large body of water under a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft has its rotors in horizontal (airplane) mode and is equipped with an aerial refueling probe at the nose. A drogue refueling basket on a hose is visible in the foreground, indicating an active or imminent air-to-air refueling operation.

    A CV-22 Osprey begins to line up his aircraft to conduct Tilt-Rotor Air-to-Air Refueling September 14 in Sweden during the Swedish exercise Aurora 2017. Aurora 2017 was designed to increase the national and joint military capabilities necessary to protect the Swedish homeland and was the country’s largest military exercise in more than 20 years. More than 19,000 personnel from Sweden participated in the exercise alongside an estimated 1,500 personnel from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, and the United States.

    A military service member in full combat gear sits on the open rear ramp of a large military transport aircraft, observing two V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft flying in formation over a body of water. The scene appears to depict an aerial operation or training exercise over the ocean. The perspective from the open ramp provides a dramatic view of the formation flight.
    Two military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as V-22 Osprey variants, are flying in formation over a large body of water. The foreground aircraft is sharply detailed while the second aircraft trails behind in the upper left. The aircraft are configured in airplane mode with rotors tilted forward, indicating forward flight.
    An aerial refueling operation is underway between a fixed-wing tanker aircraft (from which the photo is taken) and a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The Osprey is connected via a refueling hose and drogue to the tanker, flying over open ocean. A military loadmaster or crew member in multicam/OCP camouflage is visible in the foreground monitoring the operation.

    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a CV-22 or MV-22 Osprey, is captured mid-flight over a large body of water during aerial refueling operations. A refueling probe is visibly extended from the nose of the aircraft, connected to a drogue from an unseen tanker aircraft. A crew member in camouflage uniform and flight helmet is visible in the foreground, observing from the open ramp of the tanker aircraft.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from inside a tanker aircraft, showing a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft connected via a refueling drogue and hose. The image is taken from the open ramp or door of the tanker aircraft, framing the Osprey in flight over a large body of water at dusk or dawn. The dramatic low-light conditions and overcast sky create a moody, atmospheric composition.
    Two military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as V-22 Ospreys, are flying in formation over what appears to be a large body of water at dusk or dawn. The foreground aircraft is clearly visible with its rotors in horizontal flight configuration, while a second aircraft flies in the background to the left. The overcast sky displays muted pink and purple tones consistent with twilight conditions.
