    The image shows two military aircraft conducting an aerial refueling operation in hazy, overcast conditions. A large four-engine turboprop tanker aircraft, consistent with a KC-130 variant, is connected via a refueling hose and drogue to a tiltrotor aircraft consistent with a V-22 Osprey. The scene appears to be captured at dusk or dawn, with muted pinkish-gray tones in the sky.

    ARABIAN GULF (March 10, 2021) – A U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 164 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, embarked with amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), right, and a U.S. Air Force MC-130H Combat Talon II aircraft, attached to Air Force Special Operations Command, conduct tiltrotor air-to-air refueling (TAAR) over the Arabian Gulf in support of Iron Defender 21, March 10. Iron Defender 21 is a bilateral maritime exercise with the United Arab Emirates Naval and Air Defense Forces designed to enhance interoperability and readiness, fortify military-to-military relationships and advance operational capabilities, allowing participating naval forces to effectively develop the necessary skills to address threats to regional security, freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce.

    Two military aircrew members are photographed inside a helicopter cockpit during flight, captured with a fisheye lens. The right-seat pilot is reaching up to manipulate overhead panel controls while wearing full flight gear including helmet and communications equipment. Multiple green-lit avionics displays are visible on the instrument panel.
    A military pilot or crew member is seated in the cockpit of an aircraft, observing a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft flying in formation ahead. The image is taken from inside the cockpit looking forward through the windscreen, with the Osprey visible in the near distance against a hazy twilight sky. The cockpit displays multiple illuminated multifunction displays and avionics panels.
    The image is taken from inside a military aircraft cockpit, showing a view through the windshield of two aircraft in flight. A V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is visible in the foreground with its rotors spinning, while a C-130 tanker aircraft is seen in the background with a refueling drogue extended. A helmeted crew member is partially visible on the right side of the frame.

    A military pilot in full flight gear is visible from behind in the cockpit of a rotary-wing aircraft, approaching a fixed-wing tanker aircraft (consistent with a C-130 variant) for aerial refueling. A refueling drogue/basket is visible extended from the tanker on a hose. The cockpit displays multiple green-illuminated multifunction displays and instrument panels, suggesting a night or low-light operation environment.
    Two military pilots are seated in the cockpit of a military aircraft, viewed from behind, conducting an aerial refueling operation. A tanker aircraft is visible through the windscreen with a deployed refueling drogue basket extended toward the receiving aircraft. The cockpit displays multiple illuminated multifunction displays (MFDs) with green and blue navigation and flight data.
    A military aircrew member is visible in silhouette in a darkened cockpit during what appears to be an aerial refueling operation at dusk or dawn. Multiple illuminated multifunction displays and avionics screens cast green light across the instrument panel. Through the windscreen, a large tanker aircraft — consistent with a KC-130 or similar platform — is visible with a refueling drogue extended toward the receiving aircraft.
