    A fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, identifiable as an F-35B variant, is captured in a low-altitude approach or short takeoff/landing phase on a runway near a coastal location. The aircraft's landing gear is fully deployed and a large lift fan door is open on top of the fuselage, characteristic of the F-35B's short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) capability. The overcast sky, ocean backdrop, and yellow-striped runway markings suggest a coastal or island airfield.

    An F-35B Lightning II jet performs a vertical landing during a field carrier landing practice at Ie Shima Island, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 5, 2018. The F-35B landed, refueled and took off for the first time at Ie Shima Island. The F-35B belongs to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121, Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. The FCLP prepares the F-35B pilots for situations faced while deployed on aircraft carriers. Pilots land within the same restrictions they would when landing on an aircraft carrier. An F-35B landing at Ie Shima Island demonstrates the air warfighting capability, operational flexibility and tactical supremacy that this platform brings to the Indo-Pacific region, our allies and our partners.

    A single military stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35 variant, is captured in a near-hover or low-speed flight position over a coastal landscape. The aircraft is viewed from a front-facing angle with landing gear deployed, suggesting a vertical or short takeoff/landing (VSTOL) maneuver. The overcast sky, body of water, and distant landmass form the backdrop.
    An overhead view of an F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet on a flight deck or airfield tarmac. The aircraft displays U.S. military markings including a star-and-bar insignia and the number '11'. The lift fan door is open on top of the fuselage, indicating this is the STOVL (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing) variant used by the U.S. Marine Corps.
    An F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured in a short takeoff or vertical landing (STOVL) maneuver at a coastal airfield, with landing gear deployed and lift fan door open. The aircraft bears U.S. military markings and appears to be operating at low altitude just above a marked runway. The overcast sky and ocean coastline are visible in the background.
    A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured in a short takeoff or vertical landing (STOVL) configuration, with landing gear deployed and lift fan door open. The aircraft bears the markings 'VMFA-121' (Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121) on its fuselage and displays a U.S. Air Force star-and-bar insignia. The aircraft is hovering at low altitude near a coastal runway under overcast skies.
    A fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, identifiable as an F-35B variant, is captured on what appears to be a short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) capable runway or flight deck area. The aircraft has its lift fan door open on the fuselage top, consistent with STOVL operations. The tarmac features distinctive yellow and white painted markings typical of a naval air station or amphibious assault ship deck.
    A dark-colored F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured in flight with landing gear fully deployed, suggesting an approach or vertical landing maneuver. The aircraft displays U.S. Marines markings and has its lift fan door open on top, characteristic of the F-35B STOVL variant. The image is taken from a low angle against an overcast sky.

    A military stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35B variant, is captured from behind during a takeoff or landing roll on a runway near a coastline. The aircraft is in a low-altitude position on the tarmac with exhaust/heat distortion visible behind it. The runway markings, including a large number '4', are clearly visible in the foreground.
