    A military gray twin-engine jet aircraft, consistent with a KC-46 or similar tanker/transport aircraft, is captured at the moment of takeoff from a desert airfield. The landing gear is still extended and visible beneath the fuselage as the aircraft climbs above the runway. Runway distance markers numbered '8' and '7' are visible in the foreground, with arid terrain, trees, and a distant cityscape in the background.

    A KC-46A Pegasus assigned to the 22nd Air Refueling Wing, McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, takes-off for a Red Flag 21-3 mission at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, July 22, 2021. The KC-46A is equipped with a refueling boom driven by a fly-by-wire control system, and is capable of fuel offload rates required for large aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by William R. Lewis)

    A U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft is captured in flight against a partly cloudy blue sky. The aircraft appears to be in a takeoff or low-altitude climb phase, as evidenced by the landing gear still being extended. The gray military aircraft displays clear USAF markings and tail number 23534 under Air Mobility Command (AMC).
    A gray military turboprop transport aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules variant, is captured during takeoff or low-altitude flight over a desert airfield. The aircraft features four turboprop engines with large propellers and is painted in a flat gray military finish. An urban skyline and mountain range are visible in the hazy background, suggesting a location in the American Southwest.
    A large four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft is photographed in flight against a backdrop of large cumulus clouds and blue sky. The aircraft appears to be a Lockheed C-130 Hercules or a variant thereof, painted in a gray military finish. The image is taken from a slightly low angle, providing a clear frontal-underside view of the aircraft.
    A B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber is captured during takeoff or low-altitude flight over a desert airfield, with dark exhaust plumes trailing from its eight engines. A urban skyline, likely Las Vegas, is visible in the background along with mountain ranges. The runway marker '7' is visible in the foreground.
    A large military strategic bomber aircraft is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft displays eight engines mounted in paired underwing pods, characteristic of a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. The aircraft appears to be in a climbing or banking maneuver with landing gear retracted and flaps partially deployed.
    A military gray twin-engine jet aircraft, consistent with a KC-46 or similar tanker/transport aircraft, is captured at the moment of takeoff from a desert airfield. The landing gear is still extended and visible beneath the fuselage as the aircraft climbs above the runway. Runway distance markers numbered '8' and '7' are visible in the foreground, with arid terrain, trees, and a distant cityscape in the background.
    A military fighter jet, identified as an F-16 Fighting Falcon with tail code 'WA 301', is captured in flight shortly after takeoff or during a low-altitude pass. The aircraft features a distinctive blue and gray digital camouflage paint scheme and is carrying multiple air-to-air missiles on its wing pylons. The image is sharp and well-composed against a partly cloudy sky background.
    A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon is captured in flight, likely just after takeoff with landing gear still deployed. The aircraft bears the tail code 'SW' and serial number 'AF 97 108', identifying it as belonging to the 20th Fighter Wing based at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. The jet is fully armed with multiple air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions visible on its hardpoints.
