    Three military fighter jets fly in close formation beneath a larger aircraft, likely a tanker, photographed from the tanker's belly looking aft. The jets appear to be F-15 Eagles in a tight echelon or line-abreast formation over an ocean environment with scattered cumulus clouds below. The image captures an aerial refueling rendezvous or escort formation at high altitude.

    A twin-engine fighter jet, consistent with an F-15 Eagle design, is taxiing on a concrete runway or taxiway at a coastal airbase. The aircraft is viewed head-on, showing its full frontal profile with wings spread, external fuel tanks, and two vertical tail fins. The background reveals a coastal landscape with water visible on the horizon under a partly cloudy sky.
    An F-15 Eagle fighter jet is conducting aerial refueling from a tanker aircraft, photographed from the boom operator's position on the tanker.
