    An aerial photograph taken from high altitude showing a vast expanse of blue ocean with distant landmasses or islands visible on the horizon. A small aircraft is visible in the mid-distance, silhouetted against the sky near the horizon line. The scene is dominated by blue tones with scattered clouds at various altitudes.

    A KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueler from the 157th Air Refeuling Wing, New Hampshire Air National Guard, soars above the Pacific Ocean as it prepares to fuel three F-22 Raptor fighter jets and another KC-46, Nov. 16, 2022.

    The second KC-46, also from the 157th ARW, was performing a 36-hour endurance mission, flying non-stop from New Hampshire, across North America and the Pacific Ocean, around Guam, and back home again. The proof-of-concept operation showcased the ability of the Air Force’s newest tanker to project the force in the modern battle space. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt.

    A fisheye-lens photograph taken inside a military aircraft cockpit showing two aircrew members in flight suits monitoring another large military aircraft flying in close formation ahead. The foreground pilot wears a US Air Force flight suit with an American flag patch and a headset. The cockpit features modern glass displays and an extensive overhead panel of switches and circuit breakers.
    A fisheye-lens photograph taken from inside a military aircraft cockpit showing two aircrew members at their stations. Through the cockpit windscreen, another military aircraft (numbered 157) is visible in close proximity, suggesting an aerial refueling or formation flying operation. The crew members are wearing olive green flight suits with U.S. flag patches and aviation headsets.
    A U.S. Air Force boom operator is conducting an aerial refueling operation, visible from inside the rear of a tanker aircraft. Through the boom operator's window, a receiver aircraft (appearing to be a KC-135 or similar large aircraft with tail number 157) is connected via the refueling boom. The operator is wearing a flight suit with a U.S. flag patch and a headset, monitoring the refueling process.
    The image shows the cockpit interior of a large military tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar, during an aerial refueling operation. Two aircrew members in flight suits with US flag patches are visible in the foreground, looking upward through the overhead cockpit windows. A receiver aircraft, marked with the number '157', is visible above connected to the refueling boom, set against a clear blue sky.
    Two military pilots are seated in the cockpit of a large aircraft, likely a tanker or transport, conducting an aerial refueling operation. Through the cockpit windshield, a receiver aircraft marked '157' and 'RW' is visible in close proximity during the refueling procedure. Both crew members are wearing olive green flight suits with US flag patches and aviation headsets.
    The image shows a USAF aerial refueling tanker aircraft photographed from below through a receiver aircraft's observation window. The tanker's refueling boom is extended and visible beneath the fuselage, indicating an active or imminent air-to-air refueling operation. The photo is taken from the boom operator's or receiver aircraft's perspective looking upward at the tanker against a clear blue sky.
    A U.S. Air Force pilot is seen from inside a cockpit during an aerial refueling operation. The view through the windshield shows a tanker aircraft directly above with its refueling boom extended downward toward the receiving aircraft. The pilot wears a green flight suit with a U.S. flag patch and a communications headset.
    A U.S. military pilot is seated in the cockpit of a military aircraft during an aerial refueling operation. Through the cockpit windshield, a tanker aircraft (likely a KC-135 Stratotanker) is visible in close proximity with its refueling boom extended. The pilot is wearing a flight suit with a U.S. flag patch and a communications headset.

A small aircraft is visible in the mid-distance, silhouetted against the sky near the horizon line. The scene is dominated by blue tones with scattered clouds at various altitudes.
    The image is taken from the cockpit of a receiving aircraft looking up at a KC-46 or KC-135 tanker aircraft from the 157th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) of the United States Air Force. The tanker's refueling boom is extended downward toward the camera aircraft, indicating an active or imminent aerial refueling operation. The photo provides a unique pilot's-eye perspective through the cockpit windshield against a clear blue sky.
    The image shows the interior of a military aircraft cockpit taken with a wide-angle (fisheye) lens, with at least two crew members visible from behind. The aircraft is flying at high altitude over what appears to be a coastal or island region, with blue ocean and scattered clouds visible through the large cockpit windows. The cockpit features an extensive array of instruments, switches, and panels consistent with a large military transport or tanker aircraft.
    A pilot or flight crew member is seated in the cockpit of a large military or commercial aircraft, viewed from behind. The cockpit features multiple digital navigation displays, overhead control panels, and a green-tinted sun visor/shade on the right windscreen. Through the left windscreen, a coastline or island chain is visible from altitude over blue ocean waters.
    A view from inside an aircraft cockpit or flight deck looking out through large windshield panels at a vast blue ocean below. A landmass or island is visible in the mid-distance, partially obscured by low-lying cumulus clouds. The aircraft is flying at high altitude, with the curvature of the horizon faintly visible.
    An aerial photograph taken from inside or alongside an aircraft, showing a single military-style jet aircraft flying at high altitude over what appears to be a large body of water or coastline. The image was likely captured through a window, as evidenced by reflections and distortions visible on the left and right edges. The distant aircraft appears small against the expansive blue sky and water below.

    A pilot is seated in the left seat of a large commercial or military aircraft cockpit, operating controls on the center pedestal during cruise flight. The view through the windshield shows a clear blue sky with scattered clouds and what appears to be a mountain range or coastline far below. The cockpit features a modern glass cockpit layout with multiple displays, overhead panel switches, and a fully equipped center console.
    The image is taken from inside an aircraft cockpit looking out through the windshield at a blue sky with scattered clouds below. In the distance, at least one or two small aircraft silhouettes are visible near the cloud layer. The cockpit instrument panel is visible in the foreground, partially illuminated by green indicator lights.
    The image is taken from inside a military aircraft cockpit, showing a pilot in the foreground and a large tanker or transport aircraft visible through the windshield directly ahead. The exterior aircraft appears to be in close formation or pre-aerial refueling position. The cockpit displays numerous instrument panels and overhead controls typical of a large military transport aircraft.
    A cockpit view from a military aircraft approaching a tanker aircraft for aerial refueling. A pilot wearing a flight helmet and headset is visible in the foreground, while a large military transport or tanker aircraft is seen directly ahead through the windscreen with its refueling boom extended. The image is taken from the receiver aircraft's perspective during an in-flight refueling operation.
    A U.S. military pilot is seated in a cockpit, viewed from behind, wearing a flight suit with an American flag patch and aviation headset. Through the cockpit windshield, another aircraft is visible directly ahead, suggesting an aerial refueling or formation flying operation. The cockpit instrumentation panel is visible with multiple displays and controls.
    The image shows the interior of a commercial or military aircraft cockpit from behind the co-pilot or pilot, who is wearing aviation headsets.
