    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.
