    The image is taken from the cockpit or top of a military or transport aircraft, looking forward between two vertical tail fins toward a tarmac apron. A yellow aviation fuel tanker truck is positioned directly ahead on the concrete surface. The setting appears to be a regional or military airfield surrounded by sparse vegetation.
    Multiple U.S. Marines F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets from VMFA-115 'Silver Eagles' squadron are parked on a flight line at an airfield. The aircraft bear bureau number 204 and tail code 'VE', with 'MARINES' and 'SILVER EAGLES' markings clearly visible. The photo appears to be taken from the cockpit or wing of another aircraft in the same formation.
