    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft, showing a B-52 Stratofortress bomber receiving fuel via a boom refueling system. The image is taken from directly above and behind the B-52, providing a clear top-down frontal view of the massive eight-engine bomber in flight. Partial markings visible on the tanker aircraft suggest it belongs to the 100th Air Refueling Wing (ARW).

    A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress from the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, RAF Mildenhall, England, during a strategic bomber mission off the northern Norwegian coast, June 3, 2020. Strategic bomber missions enable crews to maintain a high state of readiness and proficiency, and validate our always-ready global strike capability. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.

    A U.S. Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft with the nose art 'Holy Terror' and serial number 3540 is shown on a tarmac. A pilot or crew member is leaning out of the cockpit window, holding what appears to be an orange wand or baton. The aircraft bears a distinctive winged demon nose art emblem and markings identifying it as a KC-135Q model.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft, showing a large multi-engine bomber approaching the refueling boom. The receiver aircraft, identifiable as a B-52 Stratofortress by its distinctive swept wings and eight podded engines, is positioned directly behind the tanker's refueling boom. The tanker's tail markings are partially visible, showing '100' and 'ARW' (Air Refueling Wing) on its stabilizer surfaces.
    An aerial refueling operation is underway between a B-52 Stratofortress bomber and a tanker aircraft, photographed from the tanker's boom operator position. The B-52 bears the markings '100 ARW' (100th Air Refueling Wing) on its fuselage. The aircraft are flying at altitude over a blue ocean with scattered clouds visible below.
