    A French Navy Dassault Rafale M fighter jet (numbered '31') is positioned on the flight deck of what appears to be a US Navy aircraft carrier, identifiable by the number '7' on the island superstructure. The scene depicts a joint naval exercise or cross-deck operations between the French and US navies. Multiple deck crew members in color-coded jerseys are visible performing flight deck operations.

    A French Navy Dassault Rafale M fighter jet (numbered '31') is positioned on the flight deck of what appears to be a US Navy aircraft carrier, identifiable by the number '7' on the island superstructure. The scene depicts a joint naval exercise or cross-deck operations between the French and US navies. Multiple deck crew members in color-coded jerseys are visible performing flight deck operations.
    A French Navy (Marine Nationale) E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft is captured during a catapult launch or arrested landing on what appears to be a US Navy aircraft carrier, identifiable by the hull number '77' on the island superstructure (USS George H.W. Bush). The aircraft displays French tricolor markings on its tail and 'MARINE' lettering on the fuselage. The flight deck is populated with ground crew, support vehicles, and additional aircraft.
    A military pilot is seated in the open cockpit of a fighter jet, wearing a full flight helmet and oxygen mask. The aircraft appears to be a modern delta-wing fighter, likely a Dassault Rafale or Mirage based on the fuselage design. The image is taken from a low angle against a clear blue sky.
    A decorated wheel chock on a naval aircraft carrier flight deck features hand-painted fish artwork with the inscription 'For Billy & Marty.' In the background, a military jet aircraft marked '303' is visible on the flight deck alongside a uniformed crew member. The image captures both the functional equipment and personal touches of carrier flight deck operations.
    A close-up photograph of a U.S. Navy fighter jet, numbered 303, assigned to Commander J.A. Dalby (XO), photographed on what appears to be an aircraft carrier deck. A pilot in full flight gear including helmet and oxygen mask is visible in the cockpit. The aircraft displays standard U.S. military insignia including a star-and-bar roundel and an 'E' award marking.
    Media personnel and distinguished visitors (DV) observe and film a Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft on the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier. The scene captures a media embark event, with journalists wearing labeled vests and helmets marked 'DV' (Distinguished Visitor) and 'MEDIA'. The carrier's island superstructure is visible in the background along with additional aircraft and flight deck crew.
    The image shows the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier with multiple jet aircraft and deck crew personnel visible. Two fighter jets are positioned on the deck — one on the left appears to be an F/A-18 Hornet/Super Hornet, and one on the right appears to be a French Navy Dassault Rafale M, suggesting a joint or allied naval exercise. The carrier's island superstructure is prominently visible in the background against a clear blue sky.
    The image shows flight deck operations aboard what appears to be a US Navy aircraft carrier at sea. Two fighter jets are visible on the deck — a Dassault Rafale M in the foreground and an F/A-18 Hornet/Super Hornet in the background — suggesting a joint or allied naval exercise. Deck crew in color-coded jerseys are actively directing and managing aircraft movements.
    A carrier-based fighter jet is captured mid-launch or just after takeoff from what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck over open ocean. The aircraft has its landing gear fully extended and is climbing steeply at a low altitude above the deck. The image is sharp and well-lit under clear blue sky conditions.
    Two media personnel wearing 'DV' (Distinguished Visitor) helmets are photographing and filming flight operations from the flight deck of USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). A Dassault Rafale M fighter jet is captured airborne in the upper right, likely during a touch-and-go or bolter maneuver. Multiple aircraft including F/A-18s and a helicopter are visible parked on the deck in the background.
