    Two stealth fighter jets, identifiable as F-22 Raptors, are flying in formation against a backdrop of blue sky and large cumulus clouds. Both aircraft are viewed from a slightly elevated frontal angle, likely photographed from a tanker or chase aircraft. The jets display a dark gray stealth finish with visible engine afterburner glow on at least one aircraft.
