    A KC-10 Extender with the 908th Air Refueling squadron waits to depart for a combat sortie at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia June 14, 2013. The Extender is an advanced cargo and tanker designed to provide increased global mobility for U.S. armed forces. Although the KC-10’s primary mission is aerial refueling, it can simultaneously carry support personnel and equipment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Joshua J. Garcia)

    A military aircrew member in a desert tan flight suit is operating a ruggedized laptop computer at what appears to be a flight engineer or navigator station inside a large military aircraft cockpit. The station is densely populated with analog gauges, switches, and control panels illuminated by dim amber lighting. The overhead panel and surrounding instrument arrays suggest this is likely a large transport or tanker aircraft such as a C-130, KC-135, or similar platform.
    A bald male military aircrew member in a tan flight suit is operating controls inside what appears to be a large military aircraft cockpit or flight engineer station. He is reaching toward a panel of circuit breakers or switches while seated at a complex instrument console. His name tag reads 'MSGT BRIAN FAHEY' and he wears a US flag patch on his sleeve.
    A bald male crew member wearing a tan/khaki flight suit with military patches and a yellow-green reflective belt is seated in what appears to be the flight engineer or loadmaster station of a large military aircraft. He is reaching forward to operate controls on a complex panel filled with switches, knobs, and gauges. The wide-angle, low-angle perspective emphasizes the dense instrumentation surrounding him.
    A large military or commercial wide-body aircraft is parked on a tarmac at night, illuminated by artificial lighting. A mobile boarding staircase is positioned at the forward fuselage door, suggesting ground crew activity or pre-flight preparations. The dark color scheme and tri-engine configuration are clearly visible against the night sky.
    A ground crew member stands on a nighttime airport tarmac facing a large military aircraft, likely a KC-135 or similar tanker/transport jet. The scene is illuminated by the aircraft's taxi lights and overhead floodlights. The crew member appears to be marshalling or monitoring the aircraft during ground operations.
    Two U.S. Air Force personnel in tan flight suits are posing together while holding a certificate. The certificate appears to be a '400th Combat Sortie' award for 'Operation Enduring Freedom / Iraqi Freedom' presented to MSgt Brian C. Fahey. The ceremony appears to be taking place inside a military aircraft.
