    An F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured during an aerial refueling operation with a tanker aircraft, photographed from the tanker's boom operator window. The aircraft is flying over what appears to be a coastal or island region with turquoise shallow waters visible below. Markings on the tanker indicate affiliation with the 97th Air Refueling Wing (97 ARW) of the U.S. Air Force.

    An F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet is conducting an aerial refueling operation with a tanker aircraft marked '6 AMW' (6th Air Mobility Wing). The refueling boom from the tanker is positioned above the fighter's open receptacle port on the fuselage. The image is taken from the tanker's boom operator perspective, with a coastline visible far below.
    An F-35 Lightning II fighter jet is approaching a refueling boom from a tanker aircraft marked '927 ARW' (Air Refueling Wing) for an aerial refueling operation. The image is taken from the tanker aircraft looking down at the fighter, with a coastline and shallow turquoise waters visible in the background below. The scene depicts a standard boom-and-receptacle aerial refueling procedure over what appears to be a coastal region.
    An F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured during an aerial refueling operation with a tanker aircraft. The refueling boom from the tanker is visibly connected to the fighter's receptacle on the upper fuselage. Markings on the tanker boom indicate affiliation with the 6th Air Mobility Wing (6 AMW) and 927th Air Refueling Wing (927 ARW).

    A close-up aerial photograph of an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet taken from above and slightly forward, likely from a refueling tanker aircraft. The image captures the aircraft's distinctive angular stealth geometry, reflective canopy, and an aerial refueling receptacle open on the upper fuselage. A pilot is faintly visible through the highly reflective cockpit canopy.
    An aerial refueling operation is taking place between a tanker aircraft and an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet. The tanker, marked with '6 AMW' (6th Air Mobility Wing), is extending its refueling boom toward the F-35 below. The aircraft are flying over what appears to be a coastal desert region visible in the background.
    A close-up aerial photograph taken from below/behind a tanker aircraft showing an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet during an aerial refueling operation. The image is shot from the perspective of the tanker's boom operator, looking down at the receiving aircraft's refueling receptacle open on the fuselage spine. The tanker aircraft is marked with '927 ARW', identifying it as belonging to the 927th Air Refueling Wing.
    Two F-35A Lightning II stealth fighter jets flying in formation against a deep blue sky, photographed during low-light or twilight conditions. Both aircraft display 'HL' tail codes, indicating assignment to Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The foreground aircraft bears the serial number 5176 and appears to carry external stores under its wings.
