Two fighter jets, shot from above at a 30 degree angle, soaring above the clouds. You can see a glass-still ocean where the clouds break.

A photo of an apparent classroom setting, with eight students
at heavy-duty metal table desk visible (and more just out of
view).  Each desktop seems to have a power outlet in the top
corner.  The seeming instructor is leaning over and smiling,
helping a student with her slide-rule looking thingy as she
holds a pen in her hand.  All the students seem to be writing
something.  I think I see an ashtray in the row behind the
main focus of instructor-and-student.  Everyone seems like they're
wearing USAF uniforms: short sleeve dress shirts.id:73 db:ec67f

Words in the upper left seemingly read "presidential airlift",
but the "p" in "presidential is cutoff.  The slide itself is
a watercolor, low detail, of the White House.  The American
flag on the roof is at full staff.id:149 db:ec67f

A missile in a missile silo, viewed looking down at its top. It has a red stripe on the section just below its nose cone. There are three stumpy little fin looking things on the section below that. A bunch of tubes and wires are feeding into the missile from the right of the image.

A painting with the block letter title
INTER BASE COMMUNICATIONS

The sky in the background is yellow.
In the foreground is a bespectacled air force
technician in short sleeve dress shirt and blue
pants, looking at some kind of monitor built into
a giant table.

There's a satellite dish pointed up at the sky,
and behind it the Bell Telephone logo.

Up in the sky by the title is the sihouette of a
fighter jet, and in the far background is what
looks like some kind of curved/parabolic signal
receiver reflector wall.id:45 db:ec67f
