    A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured in a low-altitude approach or landing phase at a military airfield, with landing gear fully deployed. The aircraft is photographed head-on against a backdrop of rolling hills, trees, and what appears to be active construction equipment near the runway perimeter. The overcast sky and hazy conditions suggest coastal or inland California terrain.

    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 Corps 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)
