    A flight deck crew member in a yellow safety vest and blue helmet marked 'VIP' gives the launch signal on an aircraft carrier flight deck. An F-35B or F-35C stealth fighter jet bearing the number '03' and a U.S. military star insignia is positioned behind him, apparently preparing for or initiating a catapult launch.

    Military personnel are gathered on what appears to be a naval vessel flight deck near a tiltrotor aircraft (likely an MV-22 Osprey). Personnel are wearing various colored jerseys and flight deck safety gear including helmets, goggles, and hearing protection. A salute is being rendered by the individual in the green jersey toward a senior officer in khaki uniform.
    A VIP observer wearing a blue helmet and ear protection watches from the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD-1) as an MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft prepares to take off or land. Multiple personnel in blue and yellow vests are visible on the deck, with the ship's superstructure visible in the background. The scene depicts active flight operations on a naval amphibious assault ship under clear skies.

    A naval flight deck crew member wearing a blue jersey and helmet marked 'V301' observes an F-35B fighter jet performing a short takeoff or vertical landing maneuver from what appears to be an amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier. The aircraft is airborne just off the ship's bow with visible exhaust/heat distortion below it, suggesting STOVL (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing) operations.
