    A large group of military aviators in olive/sage green flight suits pose for a group photo around a fighter jet on an airfield tarmac. The personnel appear to represent at least two different nations based on varying uniform patches, suggesting a joint military exercise or bilateral training event. Many individuals are giving thumbs-up or 'shaka' hand gestures toward the camera.

    U.S. Marines with Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA(AW)) 225 and Indonesian Air Force service members pose for a photo with an Indonesian Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon during a closing ceremony for exercise Cope West 17 at Sam Ratulangi International Airport, Indonesia, Nov. 11, 2016. The combined training offered by this exercise helps prepare the U.S. Marine Corps and Indonesia Air Force to work together in promoting a peaceful Indo-Asia-Pacific region while practicing close air support and air-to-air training that will enhance their ability to respond to contingencies throughout the region. Both the U.S. F/A-18D Hornets and Indonesian F-16 Fighting Falcons bring unique capabilities affording the associated nations the opportunity to learn and understand each other’s skills, preparing them for real world contingencies and further strengthening their relationship.

    Multiple military jet aircraft are lined up on a flight line or tarmac, with ground crew personnel conducting pre-flight or marshaling operations. At least three twin-seat fighter jets, identifiable as F/A-18 Hornets or Super Hornets, are visible with pilots seated in cockpits. Ground crew members in flight suits and hearing protection are actively working around the aircraft in overcast conditions.
    A gray military jet fighter is taxiing on a wet runway, viewed head-on from a low angle. The aircraft appears to be an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, carrying external fuel tanks and possibly ordnance under its wings. The setting appears to be a tropical airfield, with dark storm clouds and palm trees visible in the background.
    A line of U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets are parked on a tarmac runway in a tropical location, identifiable by palm trees in the background. The aircraft are arranged in a diagonal formation with visible modex numbers including '00', '10', and '05'. Dark storm clouds loom overhead, creating a dramatic atmospheric backdrop.
    A military jet fighter aircraft, consistent with an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is parked on a tarmac in low-light conditions.
