    A U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is hovering or landing on what appears to be a port or logistics area with paved brick surface. Two military personnel are present — one in camouflage utilities with a high-visibility vest and white helmet acting as a landing signal officer, and another in a flight suit standing near a shipping container. Dust is being kicked up by the rotor wash in the background.

    Two U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 363 (Reinforced), Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, observe an MV-22B Osprey preparing to land at the East Arm Wharf, Darwin, NT, Australia, Sept. 20, 2021. MRF-D’s Aviation Combat Element prepared their aircraft to depart Australia after a successful 2021 rotation. During this 10th iteration, U.S. Marines and the Australian Defence Force had an exceptional opportunity to develop relationships, strengthen their partnership, and increase shared military capabilities.

    Two military attack helicopters are flying in formation against a partly cloudy blue sky. Both aircraft appear to be AH-1Z Viper or similar tandem-seat attack helicopters painted in a light gray/white color scheme. The helicopters are photographed from a low angle, with rotor blades showing motion blur indicating active flight.
    A coastal scene featuring a row of tall metal poles or masts equipped with lighting or camera fixtures in the foreground, with a body of water and a city skyline visible in the background. A helicopter is flying in the sky to the left of center. The image appears to be taken from a marina or waterfront area, possibly in Darwin, Australia.
    A U.S. Marines AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter is captured in low-level flight over a coastal waterway with mangrove vegetation in the background. The aircraft is in a light gray paint scheme and appears to be carrying weapons systems on its stub wings. Industrial storage tanks are visible in the background, suggesting proximity to a port or industrial facility.
    Two military attack helicopters are flying over a coastal waterway near an industrial port area. The helicopters appear to be AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters in a light gray/white paint scheme, consistent with U.S. Marine Corps aircraft. The scene includes a road bridge in the foreground, calm blue water, mangrove vegetation, and industrial storage facilities in the background.
    A densely packed flight line of U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft parked wingtip-to-wingtip on a tarmac. A single maintenance technician in green flight suit is visible standing on top of one of the aircraft, performing what appears to be an inspection or maintenance task. The aircraft display 'MARINES' markings and red-tipped rotor blades, consistent with U.S. Marine Corps livery.
    A U.S. Marines AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter is on the ground at what appears to be a port or industrial facility near a body of water. A single ground crew member in military uniform stands nearby, likely directing or monitoring the helicopter. The background shows port infrastructure including shipping containers, cranes, and heavy equipment.
    Military ground crew personnel are conducting towing or repositioning operations on a light gray attack helicopter, identified as a Bell AH-1Z Viper, on a paved apron near a waterfront facility.
