    A military aircraft handler in blue coveralls and a white helmet is marshaling an F-35 fighter jet on a tarmac with both arms raised. The aircraft bears the markings 'VFA-101' and the number '114', along with a U.S. Navy star insignia. The scene appears to be at a naval air station with brick buildings and support vehicles visible in the background.

    U.S. Marine Lt. Col. J.T. “Tank” Ryan, Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 detachment commander and F-35 pilot, delivers the first Marine Corps F-35C Lightning II carrier variant to Navy Attack Fighter Squadron 101 on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Jan. 13, 2015. Ryan flew the aircraft from the Lockheed Martin plant, Fort Worth, Texas, as the first of five Marine Corps F-35C model aircraft to be delivered to the VFA-101. The F-35C model brings 25 percent more range and a bigger weapons bay. It also allows the Marine Corps to fly aboard Navy aircraft carriers, which continues an effective and long-standing tactical air integration program between the Navy and Marine Corps.
