    A formation of military jet aircraft flying in a coordinated diamond or oval-shaped pattern against an overcast, pale grey sky. The aircraft appear to be flying in a deliberate ceremonial or aerobatic formation, suggesting a military air show or parade flyover. The hazy atmospheric conditions reduce contrast, making individual aircraft details difficult to distinguish.
    A row of U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets are parked on a tarmac/flight line. The aircraft display tail codes 'AB' with modex numbers 104, 105, and 106 visible, along with a squadron insignia on the vertical stabilizers. The foreground aircraft bears the serial number 166684 and a reference to USS Harry S. Truman on the fuselage.
    Multiple U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet jet aircraft are parked on a military flight line/tarmac. The nearest aircraft bears the modex number '104' and has its canopy open with ground crew personnel attending to it. At least three aircraft are visible in a row with maintenance personnel working around them.
