    Ground crew personnel in olive/green flight suits are servicing an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet on a military airfield tarmac during golden hour lighting. Multiple technicians are working around the aircraft, with at least two handling what appears to be an ordnance or equipment cart near the aircraft's weapons bay. The setting appears to be a desert military installation based on the flat terrain and wind turbines visible in the background.
