    U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 59th Aviation Troop Command, South Carolina National Guard, and volunteers with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve program host the Upstate Boss Lift event at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Greenville, South Carolina, Aug. 20, 2026. The annual event provides civilian employers of South Carolina Guard members a firsthand look at military capabilities, featuring equipment displays of CH-47F Chinook, UH-60L Black Hawk and LUH-72B Lakota helicopters, as well as familiarization flights. U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Frank Rice, former commander of the 263rd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, and Col. Antonn Simmons, state Army aviation officer, welcomed the employers and expressed gratitude for their vital support. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Roberto Di Giovine)

    A large group of approximately 60-80 people pose for a group photograph inside a military aviation hangar. The hangar contains at least two military helicopters, including one prominently displayed with tail number 72480 in an olive/dark matte finish. The setting appears to be an official or commemorative gathering of military personnel and civilian workers.
    A United States Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter, marked with 'SC-NG' (South Carolina National Guard) and tail number D-08779, is parked on a tarmac with its rotors spinning. A mixed group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians in casual clothing are either disembarking or gathered near the rear loading ramp. The scene appears to be an official visit, tour, or dignitary transport operation at a military airfield.
    A U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter is captured in low hover or takeoff/landing phase above a concrete tarmac. The aircraft is painted in standard olive drab military green and bears 'UNITED STATES ARMY' markings on its fuselage. The setting appears to be a military airfield surrounded by dense tree lines under overcast skies.
    Two U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopters are visible on a military airfield. One Chinook is airborne and hovering or in low-level flight, while a second is parked on the tarmac in the foreground. The setting appears to be a military installation with a tree line and grassy areas visible in the background.
    A group of approximately five to six individuals, including military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians, are gathered on an airport tarmac next to a dark gray military-style helicopter. The scene appears to be a briefing or post-flight discussion near the aircraft. In the background, a white twin-engine turboprop aircraft is visible on the runway.
    A group of civilians are seated at a table during what appears to be a demonstration or briefing, handling what look like night vision or optical devices. The central figure, a smiling man in a gray t-shirt and camouflage cap, holds up a binocular-style device on a neck lanyard. In the background, a person in military camouflage uniform is partially visible.
    A group of adults seated in a row are holding cameras up to their eyes, appearing to be participating in a photography class or workshop. They are seated at a long table in what appears to be an indoor venue. Multiple participants are visible in profile, all engaged in the same activity of looking through their camera viewfinders.
    A group of approximately 30-40 individuals, including military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians, are gathered on an aircraft apron in front of a large hangar. Inside and near the hangar entrance, at least two military helicopters (appearing to be UH-60 Black Hawks) are visible. The setting appears to be a military aviation facility or National Guard installation, possibly during a ceremony, briefing, or tour.
    A U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter is parked on a tarmac apron, identified by markings 'SC-NG 008779' indicating it belongs to the South Carolina National Guard. The aircraft is viewed from the front-rear quarter angle, showing both rotor systems, twin engines, and an open rear ramp. The rotors appear to be spinning, suggesting the aircraft is running or has recently been operating.
    Several men are seated inside what appears to be a military cargo aircraft, identifiable by the red cargo straps and utilitarian interior. The foreground subject is a middle-aged man wearing a light green Hawaiian shirt and dark sunglasses, appearing relaxed. Behind him are at least two other men in blue shirts, slightly out of focus.
    A U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter is parked on a tarmac adjacent to a modern curved glass building, likely a terminal or aviation facility. Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians are gathered around the aircraft, suggesting a demonstration, open house, or familiarization event. The scene appears to be at a National Guard or military airfield facility.
    A U.S. Army soldier with the name tape 'EISELE' is assisting a civilian man seated inside what appears to be a military helicopter cockpit. The soldier, wearing Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform with 'U.S. ARMY' tape visible, appears to be orienting or briefing the civilian on the aircraft's interior. The setting suggests a public demonstration, airshow, or familiarization event.
    A press briefing or media event is taking place in what appears to be a conference room at a military installation. Multiple photographers and journalists are capturing images, while military personnel in camouflage uniforms stand in the background. The scene suggests an official media access event or press conference.
    A military service member in combat uniform and flight helmet is operating the rear loading ramp of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter on a tarmac. The wide-angle fisheye lens creates a dramatic perspective of the large tandem-rotor helicopter's aft section. A second CH-47 Chinook helicopter is visible in the background on the same flight line.
    A U.S. Army soldier in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform is briefing or speaking to civilian visitors near the rear ramp of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter on a military airfield. A second soldier in flight gear is visible in the background, along with at least two civilians. A second Chinook helicopter is visible in the background on the tarmac.
    Military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are directing civilians onto or off of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter on a tarmac. The scene appears to be a boarding or orientation event, with soldiers gesturing to guide individuals toward the rear ramp of the aircraft. The overcast sky and open tarmac suggest an outdoor military airfield setting.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and one civilian woman are walking across a tarmac toward a CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter with its rotors spinning. A second Chinook is visible in the background to the left. The scene appears to depict a pre-boarding or operational activity at a military airfield.
    A man wearing sunglasses and a blue shirt is leaning out of an open helicopter door, photographing the landscape below with a smartphone. The aerial view reveals a suburban area with a reservoir or lake, commercial buildings, parking lots, and a highway cutting through forested terrain. The overcast sky and wide-angle perspective suggest this is a media or reconnaissance flight.
    An aerial photograph taken from inside a small propeller-driven aircraft, showing a bird's-eye view of a large reservoir or lake surrounded by dense green forest. The aircraft wing and engine are visible in the foreground, with red-clay exposed shorelines and a winding waterway visible below. Overcast skies with scattered clouds extend to the horizon over a heavily forested landscape.
    The image shows the interior of a military helicopter with two individuals visible. One person is wearing full military combat gear including a flight helmet with night vision mount, multicam camouflage uniform, tactical vest, and gloves. The other individual is a civilian wearing a black polo shirt and aviation headset, appearing to be a passenger or observer.
    The image shows the interior of a large military helicopter, likely a CH-47 Chinook, filled with approximately 20-25 civilian passengers seated along both sides of the fuselage. The passengers appear to be civilians or officials on an orientation or familiarization flight, dressed in casual and business-casual attire. A fisheye lens was used to capture the full length of the cargo bay.
