    A military jet aircraft, appearing to be an F-35, is taking off or landing on a runway with visible exhaust smoke trailing behind it. The Las Vegas skyline is prominently visible in the background, including the Stratosphere Tower and Trump International Hotel. The image was likely taken from Nellis Air Force Base, which is located north of Las Vegas.

    An F-35A Lightning II aircraft from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, takes off from Nellis AFB, Nevada, Feb. 2. Airmen from the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings at Hill are participating in Red Flag 17-01. Red Flag is the U.S. Air Force’s premier air-to-air combat training exercise. This is the first F-35A deployment to Red Flag since the Air Force declared the jet combat ready in August 2016. (U.S. Air Force photo/R. Nial Bradshaw)

    Three military personnel in U.S. Air Force uniforms are working on a flight line, handling what appears to be a weapons loading cart or munitions trailer. One airman is giving a thumbs-up signal while seated on a tow vehicle marked 'MJ-1C', a standard Air Force munitions loader. The scene takes place on a concrete airfield ramp under partly cloudy skies.
    Military ground crew personnel are loading munitions onto a military aircraft, identified by tail number 5071, with the name 'SSGT ZACHARY KASPEREK' stenciled on the fuselage. The crew is using an MJ-1C munitions loading vehicle (bomb lift) to position what appears to be a GBU-series guided bomb unit into the aircraft's weapons bay. Personnel are wearing Air Force camouflage uniforms and hearing protection.
    A U.S. Air Force airman in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) is operating an MJ-1C munitions lift truck to load ordnance onto a military aircraft. The equipment is marked 'BL08' and has a 3000 lb capacity rating. The aircraft canopy area is inscribed with the name 'SSGT ZACHARY KASPEREK', indicating the assigned crew chief or pilot.
    A fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35 Lightning II, is captured at the moment of takeoff or low-altitude flight above a military airfield runway. The aircraft has its landing gear deployed and appears to be generating heat distortion and dust wake behind it. Mountains are visible in the background, suggesting a desert environment typical of southwestern United States military installations.
    A fifth-generation stealth fighter jet is captured in flight against a pale blue sky. The aircraft has its landing gear deployed, suggesting it is either taking off or preparing to land. The image is sharp and well-composed, providing a clear lateral view of the aircraft.
