    An aerial refueling operation is underway over a coastal region with arid mountainous terrain visible in the background. A C-130 Hercules tanker aircraft is simultaneously refueling two military helicopters — one larger and one smaller — using hose-and-drogue systems extended from both wings. The aircraft appear to be U.S. military assets operating over what appears to be a desert coastline.

    A U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 Super Stallion from the Heavy Marine Helicopter 464 Detachment A and U.S. Air Force HH-60 Pave Hawk from the 303rd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron refuel from an MC-130 from the 81st Expeditionary Rescue Squadron during a familiarization flight Jan. 29, 2013. The HMH-464 relinquished the Marines' 10-year personnel recovery mission to the 303rd EQRS. The squadron will continue to ensure CJTF-HOA provides responsive medical evacuation support and personnel recovery for all U.S. personnel in East Africa. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

    A military helicopter is being loaded or unloaded from a large cargo aircraft at night. Multiple personnel in military uniforms are guiding and assisting with the operation on the tarmac. The scene is illuminated by the cargo bay's interior lighting, creating a dramatic contrast against the dark night sky.
    A nighttime military airfield operation showing a large U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command cargo aircraft — identifiable as a C-5 Galaxy — with its nose raised and cargo ramp deployed. Multiple military helicopters are positioned on the tarmac surrounding the aircraft, suggesting a loading or unloading operation. Personnel in military uniforms are visible near the ramp area under artificial lighting.
    An aerial refueling operation is taking place over a body of water, with a fixed-wing tanker aircraft simultaneously refueling two military helicopters via extended fuel hoses. The tanker aircraft appears to be a C-130 variant configured for aerial refueling, transferring fuel to a large heavy-lift helicopter on the left and a medium utility helicopter on the right. A coastline with sandy terrain is visible in the background.

    A military helicopter, identifiable as an HH-60 Pave Hawk (tail number 6006), is photographed in flight over a coastal region with blue ocean and arid shoreline visible below. The helicopter is equipped with an aerial refueling probe extending from its nose, connected to a drogue basket from a tanker aircraft, indicating an active air-to-air refueling operation. The image is taken from another airborne platform at close range, providing a detailed frontal-quarter view.
    Three military helicopters are flying in a loose column formation over open ocean. The two closest helicopters appear to be large, heavy-lift models with multiple rotor blades visible in motion blur, while a third smaller helicopter is visible in the far background. The water below is calm and blue, suggesting clear weather conditions.
    A military ceremony is taking place on an outdoor tarmac or flight deck with a large assembly of service members from multiple branches. A senior officer is speaking at a podium bearing what appears to be a U.S. Navy or joint command seal, flanked by military flags including a Marine Corps flag and a blue command flag. Two military helicopters — a CH-53 Super Stallion and what appears to be an HH-60 Seahawk — are positioned in the background as a backdrop.
