    A military attack aircraft, identifiable by its distinctive twin-engine, straight-wing silhouette consistent with an A-10 Thunderbolt II, is parked on a flight line at sunset or sunrise. The dramatic backlighting creates a full silhouette effect against a vivid orange and yellow sky. A second aircraft is visible in the background appearing to take off or land, and at least one ground crew member is visible to the left.
