    A military aircrew member is visible in a mirror reflection while operating what appears to be a boom operator station aboard a tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar refueling aircraft. The person in the foreground is wearing Bose A20 Aviation headsets and military-style clothing. The view through the window shows terrain far below, consistent with high-altitude flight.
