    A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is taxiing on a runway at a military airfield. The aircraft bears tail markings 'CF' and the number '04', along with unit designation 'VMFA-210' visible on the fuselage. The setting appears to be a coastal or southeastern U.S. military installation, suggested by the pine tree treeline in the background.
