    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft, showing a large military transport or tanker aircraft receiving fuel via a boom refueling system. The receiver aircraft, marked with tail number '70119', is positioned directly below the tanker's refueling boom. The terrain visible below appears to be forested land with some water features, photographed from high altitude.

    The boom of a KC-10 Extender flown by the 6th Air Refueling Squadron makes contact with a KC-10 flown by the 60th Operations Support Squadron without offloading fuel over Oregon March 11, 2020. Making contact without offloading fuel is referred to as a “dry contact.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Traci Keller)

    GALLERY

    A large military tanker aircraft, consistent with a KC-10 Extender or similar wide-body refueling aircraft, is parked on a flight line ramp at what appears to be a military air base. The image is taken at low sun angle (sunrise or sunset), casting long shadows across the tarmac and silhouetting the aircraft's nose and boarding stairs. Multiple additional aircraft and an air traffic control tower are visible in the background.
    A close-up profile shot of a young adult male with short hair and a short beard, photographed from the side in low-light conditions. The subject appears to be looking downward, with dramatic side lighting creating strong shadows across the face. The background is blurred and indistinct, keeping focus on the subject's facial features.
    A male crew member in a tan/olive uniform is reaching up to interact with an overhead control panel inside a large aircraft cockpit. The panel is densely populated with analog gauges, switches, dials, and some digital displays, consistent with a military or large transport aircraft. The perspective is from behind and below the individual, emphasizing the complexity of the overhead systems panel.
    A close-up photograph of a smiling man with short reddish-brown hair, wearing sunglasses pushed up on his forehead and what appears to be an olive/military-green collar. He is seated inside what appears to be a vehicle or aircraft cockpit, with instrument panels visible in the blurred background. The subject appears relaxed and in good spirits.
    Two U.S. Air Force personnel in olive drab flight suits are reviewing a document inside what appears to be a military transport aircraft. Both individuals wear American flag patches on their right shoulders, indicating active duty U.S. military service. A third person in camouflage uniform is visible in the background near the aircraft's interior doorway.
    A military service member in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform is working with equipment on what appears to be an aircraft or ground support unit on a flight line. The individual is wearing hearing protection and is handling a large black cable or hose connected to a piece of equipment marked 'DG75'. The setting appears to be an outdoor airfield under clear blue skies.
    A military service member in camouflage uniform is pulling a yellow ground support equipment dolly or chock across an aircraft ramp or flight line. The yellow equipment is marked with '860 AMXS', indicating it belongs to the 860th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. Red straps or streamers are visible attached to or draped over the equipment being moved.
    The image is taken from inside a military aircraft cockpit looking out through the windshield at a flight line marshaller giving hand signals on the tarmac. In the background, at least two large military transport aircraft (appearing to be C-17 Globemasters) are visible on the apron, along with large aircraft hangars. The setting appears to be a U.S. military air base with mountains visible in the background.
    A pilot is seated in the cockpit of a small aircraft, wearing aviation headphones with a boom microphone and glasses. The person is looking forward through the cockpit windshield, with blue sky and clouds visible outside. The image captures a close-up profile view during what appears to be active flight.
    The image is taken from inside an aircraft cockpit, looking through the windshield at a large military jet aircraft on a taxiway or runway. A silhouetted person, likely a pilot or crew member, is visible in the foreground on the right side. The exterior aircraft appears to be a wide-body military transport or tanker aircraft, consistent with a KC-10 or similar platform.
    This image shows a military aircraft cockpit instrument panel with multiple engine gauges visible. The panel displays three N1 (fan speed) tachometers and three EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) gauges, along with an identification plate showing A.F. Serial No. 84-0191 and Call No. 40191. The instruments appear to be active with readable values, suggesting the aircraft may be running or recently operated.
    A close-up portrait of a man wearing dark wraparound sunglasses and a headset microphone, photographed against a very dark background. The most striking feature is the reflection visible in the right lens of his sunglasses, which shows what appears to be a military aircraft — likely a tanker or transport plane — viewed from another aircraft, suggesting an aerial refueling or formation flight scenario. The dramatic low-key lighting emphasizes the subject's face and the detail in the lens reflection.
    A U.S. Air Force airman in a flight suit is seated at a control panel inside a military aircraft, operating equipment. He is wearing a green aviation headset with boom microphone, dark sunglasses, and a flight suit with a U.S. flag patch and unit insignia. The lighting is dim, consistent with an aircraft interior environment.
    Close-up view of a military aircraft fuselage showing cockpit windows and a partial serial number. The image captures the nose section of what appears to be a large military aircraft, with crew members faintly visible through the multi-pane cockpit glazing. The serial number '70119' is stenciled on the gray fuselage.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft, showing a large military transport or tanker aircraft receiving fuel via a boom refueling system. The receiver aircraft, marked with tail number '70119', is positioned directly below the tanker's refueling boom. The terrain visible below appears to be forested land with some water features, photographed from high altitude.
    The image shows a close-up of an aircraft or spacecraft cockpit instrument panel photographed in low-light conditions. Two illuminated indicator lights display 'CONTACT' and 'COUPLED' in green text, alongside analog gauges including one labeled 'TLSCP' (likely telescoping or telescope) measured in feet. The panel appears to be from a military or specialized aerospace vehicle based on the instrumentation style.
