English: A U.S. Navy Boeing F/A-18F-54-MC Lot 23 Super Hornet (BuNo 165801) of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23 (VX-23) flies alongside a German Luftwaffe Airbus A400M Atlas (s/n 54+44) from Lufttransportgeschwader 62 (62nd Air Transport Wing) near Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland (USA), 11 January 2024, during an air-to-air refueling test aimed at expanding the flight envelope for the European transport and tanker aircraft.
