    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the boom operator's window of a tanker aircraft, showing a fighter jet receiving fuel mid-flight. The receiving aircraft appears to be an F-16 Fighting Falcon connected to the refueling boom of what is likely a KC-135 or similar tanker. The image is taken from a high altitude over an arid, semi-desert landscape.
