    A military aviator or crew member is seated inside a helicopter, looking out through the open door at an aerial view of sky and clouds. The individual is wearing full flight gear including a helmet with visor, communications headset, and multicam camouflage uniform. A unit patch reading 'BUCCANEERS' with a pirate-style insignia is visible on the right shoulder sleeve.
    A male worker wearing blue nitrile gloves and safety glasses is spray painting a red circular ring/tow fitting on what appears to be white military or industrial equipment. The setting appears to be an industrial workspace or military vessel hangar bay. The worker is using a spray can to apply red paint to the circular component.
