    Military personnel from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 72 (HSM-72) are conducting hot refueling operations on what appears to be an MH-60R Seahawk helicopter on a flight line or tarmac. Ground crew members wearing purple cranials (helmets) are managing a fuel hose while another crew member in a white helmet observes near the aircraft. The scene appears to be taking place during low-light conditions, likely dawn or dusk.
