    A naval flight deck crew member in a yellow jersey and yellow helmet is directing an MH-60 Seahawk helicopter (numbered 62) during landing or takeoff operations on what appears to be a U.S. Navy ship's flight deck. The scene takes place at sea under partly cloudy skies, with the ocean visible in the background. The handler is using standard hand signals with both arms raised toward the hovering helicopter.

    A naval flight deck officer in a yellow jersey and white helmet signals a military helicopter during flight operations aboard an aircraft carrier at sea. The helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk variant, is hovering low over the flight deck in what appears to be a landing or departure evolution. The scene takes place under clear blue skies over open ocean.
    A flight deck crew member in a yellow jersey directs a U.S. Marines AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter during flight operations aboard a naval vessel at sea. The handler, identified as 'FLY 1' and 'LUPZ' on their vest, is using hand signals to guide the helicopter. The rotor blades are visibly motion-blurred, indicating the aircraft is in active hover or takeoff phase.
    A flight deck crew member wearing a yellow jersey labeled 'FLY 1' directs a military attack helicopter from the deck of a naval vessel at sea. The helicopter, identifiable as a U.S. Marine Corps AH-1Z Viper, is hovering or departing just above the flight deck. The scene takes place under clear blue skies over open ocean.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is hovering just above the flight deck of a naval vessel, likely an amphibious assault ship. A flight deck crew member in a yellow jersey and white helmet is directing the aircraft during landing operations. Additional aircraft and deck equipment are visible in the background on the port side of the ship.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured in flight against a partly cloudy blue sky. The aircraft is photographed from below at an angle, with its rotors in motion creating visible motion blur and vortex condensation trails. The gray paint scheme and configuration suggest this is a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identified as an MV-22 Osprey with the number '15' visible on its fuselage, is hovering above the flight deck of a naval vessel, likely an amphibious assault ship.
