    A U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft flies past the iconic Mont Saint-Michel, a medieval abbey and island commune located in Normandy, France. The aircraft bears 'RS' tail codes and 'U.S. AIR FORCE' markings, suggesting it is assigned to a European-based unit. The image appears to commemorate a military flyover, likely related to D-Day anniversary events given the location.

    A C-130J Super Hercules aircraft assigned to the 37th Airlift Squadron out of Ramstein Air Base, Germany, flies past Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, June 2, 2022. 37th AS has a lineage that stems from squadrons that participated in the invasion of France by dropping troops and carrying gliders over Normandy in order to secure towns and bridges before the rest of the Allied Forces could storm the beaches during World War II.

    The image is taken from the open rear cargo ramp of a military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, flying over a coastal area. Two crew members are seated on the ramp's edge with their legs dangling, and an American flag is being held or flying in the wind on the right side. The coastline below features a long sandy beach, a small town, and flat agricultural fields extending to a peninsula.
    The image is taken from the open rear cargo ramp of a large military transport aircraft in flight, looking out over a coastal area with turquoise-blue water and a sandy shoreline. A second military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, is visible flying in formation in the distance. The perspective suggests a formation flight or training exercise over a coastline.
