    F-15 Eagles assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing support a flypast over Normandy, France in support of the 76th anniversary of D-Day June 6, 2020. An epic multinational operation, D-Day forged partnerships and reinforces trans-Atlantic bonds that remain to this day. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Master Sgt. Matthew Plew)

    A U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft is conducting an air-to-air refueling operation with three F-15 Eagle fighter jets at altitude. The tanker, marked with 'EP' and tail code 'D/B' with serial 23551, has its refueling boom extended and connected to one F-15 below, while two additional F-15s fly in formation nearby. The image is a high-quality aerial photograph taken above a cloud layer under partly cloudy skies.

    Three military jet fighters fly in a loose formation over a shallow coastal region with tidal flats, sandbars, and aquaculture or salt farm grid patterns visible below. The aircraft appear to be F-15 Eagle variants based on their twin-tail, twin-engine configuration and overall silhouette. The scene is photographed from an aerial perspective, likely from a fourth aircraft, under partly cloudy skies.
    Two military jet aircraft, identifiable as F-15 Eagles, are flying in formation over a coastal landscape featuring a small tidal island or peninsula with green fields and what appears to be a historic fortification. The foreground aircraft displays tail markings 'LN' and the number '40', indicating it belongs to a USAF unit based in the United Kingdom (RAF Lakenheath). The terrain below shows a mix of tidal flats, shallow coastal waters, and a town with a harbor visible in the background.
