“Night flight”

A CV-22 Osprey, assigned to the 20th Special Operations Squadron, approaches the air-refueling receptacle of an MC-130J Commando II during a night flight at cannonafb, N.M., Sept. 12, 2024. The Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft that combines a helicopter’s vertical takeoff, hover and vertical landing qualities with the long-range, fuel efficiency and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft.
