    An aerial refueling operation is underway between a tanker aircraft (viewed from above/behind) and a B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber. The refueling boom from the tanker is connected to the receiver receptacle on top of the B-52's fuselage. The aircraft are flying over what appears to be an arid desert terrain with reddish-brown sandy landscape visible below.
