    A tiltrotor aircraft, consistent with a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured during nighttime operations on what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck over open ocean. The long-exposure photograph captures the spinning rotor blades as bright green circular light trails, with navigation lights (red and green) and deck lighting visible. The image was taken at dusk or dawn, with a faint orange glow on the horizon.

    PACIFIC OCEAN (May 18, 2021) An MV-22 Osprey, attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), prepares to take off from the flight deck of amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), May 18. Essex is underway as part of the Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) conducting integrated training with the 11th MEU off the coast of southern California. Together, the 11th MEU, Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 1, and ships are designated as an ARG. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Brett McMinoway)
