    An aerial refueling operation is depicted, showing two F-35 Lightning II fighter jets flying in formation with a tanker aircraft. The tanker's refueling boom is visible in the foreground, marked with 'ALASKA' and 'ANG' (Alaska Air National Guard) in yellow lettering. One F-35 is positioned close to the boom for refueling while the second flies in escort formation to the left.
    Two F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets are photographed in formation flight from the boom operator's window of a tanker aircraft, likely a KC-135 or KC-46. The image is taken from below the tanker's fuselage looking outward, with the refueling boom visible at the top of the frame. The aircraft are flying at high altitude over a cloud layer with a visible horizon curvature.
    Four military jet aircraft are flying in a loose formation over what appears to be a large body of water, photographed from the window or observation port of another aircraft. The formation consists of two F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters on the left and two F-15 Eagle fighters on the right. The image captures an aerial refueling or escort mission scenario with clear blue sky and water visible below.
