    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's perspective aboard a tanker aircraft. A receiver aircraft, marked with '100 ARW' (100th Air Refueling Wing) insignia, is connected via a refueling boom. The photo is taken at altitude above a cloud layer, showing the top of the receiver aircraft's fuselage during active fuel transfer.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's position aboard a tanker aircraft, showing a receiver aircraft approaching the refueling boom. The tanker aircraft displays markings including 'ARW' (Air Refueling Wing) and what appears to be 'NATO' on the wing. The scene is photographed from above through the tanker's boom operator window, with cloud cover and terrain visible far below.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's position aboard a tanker aircraft. A large four-engine jet aircraft, marked with 'NATO' and 'ARW' insignia, is receiving or preparing to receive fuel via a refueling boom extending from the tanker above. The receiver aircraft appears to be a NATO E-3 Sentry (AWACS) or similar Boeing 707-based platform, photographed at altitude above a cloud layer.
    Two military aircrew members are working inside what appears to be a tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar refueling aircraft. One crew member wearing glasses and a headset is assisting the other, who is wearing a full pressure breathing mask/oxygen mask assembly and a 'Boom Operator' patch from the 100th Air Refueling Wing (ARW), 351st Air Refueling Squadron (ARS). The setting is the interior of a military aircraft with visible control panels and safety placards.
    Two military aircrew members are seated in the cockpit of a large military aircraft, reviewing information on a tablet device. Both are wearing olive drab flight suits and Bose aviation headsets, with the right-seat occupant also wearing a tan baseball cap with what appears to be a US flag patch. The cockpit features an extensive analog instrument panel consistent with older military transport or bomber aircraft.
