    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated on the open rear ramp of a military helicopter or transport aircraft, looking out over a scenic alpine valley with green fields, a lake, and mountain ranges below. The image is taken from an unusual tilted angle, creating a dramatic perspective where the landscape appears nearly vertical. The soldiers are equipped with flight helmets, communication headsets, and sunglasses.

    12th Combat Aviation Brigade

    "Tailgating 3200 feet in the air" Yesterday, 1-3rd Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade conducted a battalion training flight of 18 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters. The training mission was an opportunity for 1-3 ARB to conduct a training mission with the full battalion under realistic conditions. The objective area was far enough away to necessitate detailed planning at the company and platoon level. This was a great first step on a progressive training plan to execute collective training. Chinooks from 1-214th Aviation Regiment were also present during the training flight in support of the Attack Battalion.(U.S. Army photos by Sgt Justin Ashaw)
