    The image is taken from inside a military aircraft cockpit during an aerial refueling operation. A pilot or crew member wearing a digital camouflage cap is visible in the foreground, while through the cockpit windows a tanker aircraft (appearing to be a C-130 variant) is visible overhead and a refueling drogue/basket is visible to the right. The scene takes place at altitude with cloud cover visible below.

    While flying over the ocean off the coast of San Diego, an MV-22B Osprey from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 receives fuel from a KC-130J Hercules from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 May 12. In-flight refueling allows the Osprey to stay airborne longer, and pilots are able to provide extended or long-range capabilities to support troops on the ground. This is an advantage the Osprey has over its predecessor, the CH-46E Sea Knight.

A pilot or crew member wearing a digital camouflage cap is visible in the foreground, while through the cockpit windows a tanker aircraft (appearing to be a C-130 variant) is visible overhead and a refueling drogue/basket is visible to the right. The scene takes place at altitude with cloud cover visible below.
    Two military aircraft are photographed in flight above a thick cloud layer. A larger four-engine turboprop aircraft, consistent with a KC-130 tanker variant, has deployed a hose-and-drogue refueling system toward a smaller tiltrotor aircraft, consistent with an MV-22 Osprey. The scene depicts an aerial refueling operation in progress, with the drogue visible trailing from the tanker toward the receiving aircraft.
