Looks likes Alaska.

Good spot.  The photo was taken during a training Helicopter Air-to-Air Refueling (HAAR) mission over Alaska.  It was taken from a 210th Rescue Squadron HH-60 Pave Hawk as it refuels from a 211th Rescue Squadron HC-130N.

Yup.  Could replace the B-52.  Lots more cup holders.  And bigger lavatories.

And two engines instead of 8! I know, don't start that issue again! There's a thread for that around here somewhere.

Gorgeous pic from Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti on the Space Station. She posts great pics frequently on Twitter. Follow her at: @AstroSamantha or if you follow @ESA or @NASA, they often retweet her pics.

A United States (US) Global Hawk flies into Avalon airport on 21 February, 2015 for the Australian International Airshow. The arrival of the US Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk marks the first time a military Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) has flown into an Airshow in Australia and the first time a military UAS has landed at an Australian commercial/civil airport.

So an unmanned aircraft landed at an airport in Australia piloted by someone thousands of miles away. I know this is being done at military fields around the world but at a civilian airport for an airshow blows my mind. It shouldn't, but it does.

Very nice pic, thanks.  It does give ideas for the interior of a civil CH-47 or V-22.
