    A Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft is captured during takeoff from a desert airfield, with its distinctive rotodome radar disc clearly visible atop the fuselage. The aircraft is airborne with landing gear still extended and all four turbofan engines producing visible exhaust smoke. The arid, mountainous terrain in the background and runway distance markers suggest a location consistent with a southwestern U.S. military installation.
