    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.

    Lt. Col. Greg Van Splunder, a pilot with the 157th Air Refueling Wing, Pease Air National Guard Base, New Hampshire Air National Guard, guides his KC-46A Pegasus as it receives fuel from another Pease KC-46A during a 36-hour endurance mission, Nov. 16, 2022.

    The long-duration sortie took place from Nov. 16-17 and was crewed by active duty and Air National Guard Airmen from Pease, who flew the jet 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.

    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.
    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.
