    A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured on a runway, appearing to be landing or taxiing, with tire smoke visible beneath the main landing gear. The aircraft bears markings consistent with VMFA-314 or a similar Marine aviation squadron, identifiable by unit insignia on the fuselage. The setting appears to be a military airfield in a coastal California region, with mountains, trees, and base infrastructure visible in the background.

    U.S Marine Corps Lt. Col. Cedar L. Hinton, commanding officer of Marine Wing Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 314, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), lands VMFA-314's first F-35C Lightning II on Marine Air Station Miramar, Calif., Jan. 21, 2020. The F-35C will give 3rd MAW a technological advantage by bringing the next wave of 5th generation fighter jets to its arsenal. The F-35C represents the next step in aviation, introducing upgraded internal fuel storage capacity, enhanced stealth capability and the reliability found in other F-35 variants. These capabilities will ensure 3rd MAW is well-equipped to meet the threats of tomorrow. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Dominic Romero)
