    An F-16C Fighting Falcon assigned to the Air National Guard's 115th Fighter Wing in Madison, Wisconsin performs a bombing run on a simulated ground to air threat at Hardwood Air-to-Ground Weapons Range in central Wisconsin June 26, 2018, as part of the CSAREX ’18 combat search and rescue exercise. Members of the Wisconsin National Guard's 115th Fighter Wing, 128th Air Control Squadron and 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment joined Airmen with the Maryland Air National Guard's 175th Wing at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center for the annual exercise designed to familiarize participants with the identification, location and rescue of survivors in a potential high threat environment.

    A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft is in a banked maneuver, displaying visible vapor condensation over the wing surfaces, indicating high-speed or high-G flight. Tail markings and serial number are partially visible on the aircraft.
    The image shows a tracked military surface-to-air missile launcher positioned in an open grassy field. The vehicle carries four upright white missiles in a ready-to-launch configuration. The setting appears to be a training area or exercise ground, surrounded by dense green vegetation and trees.
    A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) attack aircraft is captured in flight against a pale blue-gray sky. The aircraft bears Maryland Air National Guard markings ('MD') and tail number 720, and is visibly firing its GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon, producing a characteristic smoke trail. The image appears to have been taken at an airshow or during a live-fire demonstration.
    A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) attack aircraft is photographed in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft is captured in a banking maneuver, providing a clear view of its underside and distinctive twin-engine, straight-wing configuration. The image shows the aircraft carrying what appears to be ordnance or external stores on its wing pylons.
    A military aviator in an olive green flight suit is crouching in dense vegetation near what appears to be an airfield, holding a radio or signaling device with an antenna. A helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk, is visible in the background flying low over the airfield. The scene appears to depict a combat search and rescue (CSAR) or survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) training exercise.
    A military aviator or aircrew member in an olive/gray flight suit is crouching in dense vegetation while holding an activated orange smoke signal flare. The bright orange smoke billows to the left, consistent with a survival signaling exercise or search-and-rescue training scenario. The individual wears a squadron patch, survival vest, and gloves, suggesting this is a formal SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) or aircrew survival training exercise.
    Two military helicopters are flying in formation against a light blue, partly cloudy sky. The helicopters appear to be utility/transport type aircraft, visible in silhouette above a treeline of leafy green vegetation. The image captures the aircraft from a ground-level perspective looking upward.
    A male individual wearing a military flight suit and survival vest is crouched in dense vegetation while holding a tactical radio to his face. He appears to be participating in a survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) training exercise, as indicated by the 'TRAINING' label visible on his vest. He wears military patches on his shoulder, including what appears to be a US Air Force squadron patch.
    A dark military helicopter is captured in flight against a partly cloudy blue sky. The aircraft appears to be a UH-60 Black Hawk type utility helicopter based on its distinctive silhouette and rotor configuration. The image is taken from a low angle looking upward, providing a clear view of the underside and front of the aircraft.
    A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) attack aircraft is captured in level flight against a clear, hazy blue sky. The aircraft bears 'MD' tail codes and a Maryland state flag insignia, indicating it belongs to the Maryland Air National Guard. The aircraft appears to be in a standard gray paint scheme with landing gear retracted.
    A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) attack aircraft is photographed from below during flight, showing its distinctive underside. The aircraft is banked at an angle against a clear blue sky, providing a clear view of its twin rear-mounted engines, straight wings, and cockpit. The aircraft appears to be performing a maneuver, likely at an airshow or training exercise.
    The image shows multiple simultaneous explosive detonations occurring in an open field area in front of a dense tree line. Several tall white smoke and debris columns are rising from the ground, consistent with artillery or mortar impacts during a military training exercise. A rusted metal target structure is visible on the right side of the frame.
    The image shows a small airport or airfield facility featuring a distinctive red and white striped control tower and matching low-rise administrative building. The structures share a consistent color scheme of bold red and white vertical stripes, giving the complex a visually striking appearance. The facility appears to be a regional or general aviation airport set in a flat, open landscape under a partly cloudy summer sky.
    The image shows a tall red-and-white striped observation or control tower with a steel lattice framework and an enclosed cab at the top equipped with antennas and weather instruments. A matching red-and-white striped low-rise building sits at the base of the tower. The facility appears to be an airport or airfield installation, likely a control tower complex.
    A sign reading 'HARDWOOD RANGE' is mounted on two inert bomb/ordnance casings planted nose-down into a painted bullseye target on the ground. The installation serves as an entrance or identification marker for a military bombing or aerial gunnery range. The surrounding landscape is open, grassy, and lightly wooded under a partly cloudy sky.
    The image shows the entrance to 'Hardwood Range,' a military training facility. A blue sign reading 'HARDWOOD RANGE' is supported by two inert bomb casings used as posts, and a third larger bomb casing is displayed upright in the foreground. The setting is an open grassy area with a paved road and treeline visible in the background.
