    A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is parked on a wet tarmac, bearing the markings of VMFA-121 (Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121). The aircraft sits on yellow wheel chocks on a rain-soaked flight line, with its reflection clearly visible in the standing water below. The overcast sky and wet surface conditions suggest recent or ongoing rainfall at the airfield.
