    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft, showing a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet receiving fuel via a boom refueling system. The aircraft is photographed from directly above and behind, revealing its distinctive delta wing and stealth design features. The ground terrain, consisting of rural farmland and forests, is visible thousands of feet below.

    With only four hours of flight on its clock, an F-35 Lightning II from the 158th Fighter Wing out of the Vermont Air National Guard Base, South Burlington, Vt., receives fuel from a 434th Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker from Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind., over the Midwest Sept. 19, 2019. The 158th FW is the first Air National Guard unit to receive the aircraft, and will be the second operational F-35 wing in the U.S. Air Force, and will receive a total of 20 over the following months.

    Two gray stealth fighter jets are flying in formation at high altitude over a landscape partially obscured by clouds. The foreground aircraft displays a U.S. flag decal on its cockpit canopy, indicating U.S. military ownership. Both aircraft appear to be single-engine, single-seat stealth fighters consistent with the F-35 Lightning II design.
