This is a Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye, an airborne early warning and command aircraft. These aircraft are used for surveillance, early warning, and the tactical coordination of air missions. The French Navy currently operates these aircraft ahead of their scheduled replacement by the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye version starting in 2027.

This image features a Navy Grumman F-14 Tomcat in flight alongside a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk wearing a desert camouflage pattern. Both types of aircraft are famous for their roles in the 1986 film Top Gun. The Skyhawk in this image is used for aerial combat training, often simulating adversaries ("MiG-28" in the film).

This is a McDonnell Douglas TAV-8B Harrier II, a two-seat training version of the vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft. This specific aircraft belongs to the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and bears the serial number 163180. The Harrier is renowned for its unique ability to take off and land vertically, although it is also very noisy during these maneuvers.

This is a Grumman F-14 Tomcat, a US Navy fighter aircraft recognizable by its variable-sweep wings. The aircraft in the image bears the number 102 and displays the insignia of the "Tomcatters" squadron (NK). This twin-engine, two-seat fighter was designed for fleet defense and long-range interception. The F-14 was retired from active US Navy service in 2006 but remains in service with the Iranian Air Force.
