    A U.S. Air Force boom operator from the 909th Air Refueling Squadron is positioned at the boom operator station aboard a tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar refueling aircraft. The airman is wearing a flight suit, Bose headset, and protective eyewear while monitoring controls and looking through the observation window. The patch on his shoulder reads '909th Air Refueling SQ' with the motto 'Always There.'

    Senior Airman Seth Amiott, 909th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, refuels a U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II aircraft from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242 out of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, during joint refueling training over the Pacific Ocean, Feb. 16, 2022. The 909th Air Refueling Squadron plays a vital part in ensuring the mission is accomplished, allowing for air-to-air refueling which eliminates the need for an aircraft to land or return to base for refueling.

    A low-angle ground-level photograph taken beneath a military aerial refueling aircraft, showing the underside of the fuselage and tail section. The image prominently features a refueling boom or drogue basket in the foreground, with unit markings '141 ARW' and '62 ARW' visible on the tail fins. Two personnel are crouching near the aircraft's landing gear in the background.
    A male pilot is seated in an aircraft cockpit, smiling while in flight. He is wearing a military flight suit with a squadron patch, Bose aviation headset with boom microphone, and aviator sunglasses. The cockpit environment suggests a large military transport or patrol aircraft.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's window of a tanker aircraft, showing a U.S. Marines F-35B fighter jet receiving fuel via a refueling boom. The photograph is taken from above and behind, looking down at the F-35B as it connects with the tanker's refueling boom over an ocean environment. The word 'MARINES' is visible on the fuselage of the receiving aircraft.
    A single stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35 Lightning II, is photographed in flight above a dense cloud layer. The aircraft is captured from a slightly elevated angle, likely from another aircraft, showing its distinctive low-observable airframe design. The background consists entirely of white cumulus clouds beneath a pale blue sky.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured in close-up detail, showing a refueling boom connected to the receptacle of what appears to be an F-35 stealth fighter jet. A pilot wearing a flight helmet and oxygen mask is visible through the cockpit canopy. The image is taken from the perspective of the tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or KC-46.
    Three F-35 stealth fighter jets fly in a staggered formation above a thick cloud layer against a clear blue sky. The lead aircraft is closest to the camera and bears visible 'MARINES' markings on the fuselage, indicating U.S. Marine Corps affiliation. The formation appears to be on a routine flight or training mission at high altitude.
    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's station aboard a tanker aircraft, showing a fighter jet receiving fuel via a refueling boom. The perspective is from inside the tanker's aft fuselage, looking out through the boom operator's window at the receiver aircraft positioned below and behind. The scene takes place at altitude above a cloud layer under bright daylight conditions.
    A U.S. Air Force boom operator from the 909th Air Refueling Squadron is positioned at the boom operator station aboard a tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar refueling aircraft. The airman is wearing a flight suit, Bose headset, and protective eyewear while monitoring controls and looking through the observation window.
