    Two U.S. Marines AH-1Z Viper (or AH-1W SuperCobra) attack helicopters are photographed at what appears to be a desert military airfield. The foreground helicopter is airborne in a low hover or takeoff phase, while a second helicopter remains on the tarmac in the background. The arid, desert landscape and clear blue sky suggest a southwestern U.S. military installation.
