    A U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is airborne in helicopter mode above a military airfield, with its rotors tilted vertically for hovering or low-speed flight. On the tarmac below, at least two AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters bearing 'MARINES' markings are parked with rotor tie-downs and safety covers in place. The setting appears to be a Marine Corps air station surrounded by dense deciduous tree lines under a partly cloudy sky.

    A U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is airborne in helicopter mode above a military airfield, with its rotors tilted vertically for hovering or low-speed flight. On the tarmac below, at least two AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters bearing 'MARINES' markings are parked with rotor tie-downs and safety covers in place. The setting appears to be a Marine Corps air station surrounded by dense deciduous tree lines under a partly cloudy sky.
    A Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is taxiing on a concrete runway or taxiway at a military airfield. The rotors are spinning, visible by the motion blur on both proprotors, indicating the aircraft is preparing for takeoff or has just landed. Military hangar buildings and tree line are visible in the background.
    Two military aircrew members are visible through the cockpit windows of what appears to be a military helicopter or large aircraft. Both individuals are wearing flight helmets with attached equipment, suggesting active flight operations or pre-flight procedures. The light blue exterior of the aircraft and the dual side-by-side cockpit windows are clearly visible.
