    Maintainers with the 5th Reconnaissance Squadron “Black Cats” work on a U-2 “Dragon Lady” at Osan Air Base, Oct. 22, 2020. Since the Medieval times, black cats have long been considered bringers of curses and bad luck. Fortunately for the 5th Reconnaissance Squadron, their lineage of felines named Oscar symbolizes good fortune – gracing the unit’s patch for nearly 60 years.

    A black and white photograph taken from a front-facing perspective inside a large aircraft hangar, showing a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft — consistent with a U-2 or similar design — undergoing maintenance. The hangar doors are open at the rear, creating a strong backlit silhouette effect. At least one technician is visible working on the aircraft's fuselage.
    A bright pink 'REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT' tag is prominently displayed in sharp focus in the foreground, while the background shows a military or aviation facility rendered in black and white. A circular emblem or insignia featuring what appears to be an animal (possibly a wolf or cat) is visible on a wall or structure in the background. The selective color technique draws attention to the safety tag against the monochrome environment.

    A high-contrast silhouette photograph taken inside what appears to be an aircraft hangar. A person wearing a cap or helmet is visible alongside what appears to be a military or vintage aircraft, identifiable by its cockpit canopy and engine components. The backlighting from hangar windows and a large open door creates a dramatic black silhouette effect.
    A black cat with strikingly vivid amber/orange eyes sits upright on a carpeted floor in an indoor setting. The image uses selective color photography, rendering the entire scene in black and white except for the cat's glowing orange-yellow eyes. The cat wears a collar with a small metal tag or bell.
