    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.
