    Two military jet aircraft are flying in loose formation against a clear, cloudless blue sky. The lower aircraft has a distinctive red nose cone or nose cap, while the upper aircraft appears in a standard gray/camouflage finish. Both aircraft appear to be flying in the same general direction from left to right.

    Maj. Nathan McCaskey, an F-16 Test Pilot with the 96th Test Wing , observes an autonomous UTAP-22 aircraft over the Gulf of Mexico, May 5, 2021. The pilotless aircraft was modified to operate under its own computerized control as part of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Autonomous Attritable Aircraft Experiment. This flight was the closest a manned fighter has flown to an unmanned aircraft under autonomous control in the history of the Department of Defense. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.

    Two military jet aircraft are flying in formation against a clear blue sky. The left aircraft appears to be a modern fighter jet, likely an F-16 Fighting Falcon, while the right aircraft is smaller with a distinctive orange/red nose, possibly a target drone or older jet trainer/fighter. Both aircraft are flying at similar altitudes in what appears to be a daylight escort or intercept scenario.
