Beja Airport, Portugal: sonar buoys chutes - sonobuoys are used in anti-submarine warfare and submarine rescue - there are two main types, active buoys send out sonar pulses, which reflect off of the submarine, and the return is datal inked back to the aircraft, passive buoys listen for any radiated noise from the submarine contact - hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment are below the water surface, the buoy relays acoustic information from its hydrophone via UHF/VHF radio to operators on board the aircraft - Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft, a military derivative of the Lockheed L-188 Electra.

A fighter jet refueling probe is a component for aerial refueling operations, allowing combat aircraft to extend their operational range and endurance. Typically mounted on the nose or upper fuselage, the probe extends forward to connect with the drogue or basket of a tanker aircraft's refueling hose. When engaged, fuel is transferred from the tanker to the fighter jet. Probes vary in design but generally consist of a telescopic or fixed structure ending in a nozzle that interfaces with the tanker's refueling system. This system enables fighters like the Eurofighter (pictured), F/A-18 Hornet and F-16 Fighting Falcon to undertake longer missions or loiter in combat areas without needing to return to base. The successful operation of the probe demands precision piloting and coordination between both aircraft involved in the refueling process. Aerial refueling, also referred to as air refueling, in-flight refueling (IFR), mid-air refueling, air-to-air refueling (AAR), and tanking, is the process of transferring aviation fuel from one aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) while both aircraft are in flight.
