    A military ground crew member in camouflage uniform is marshalling an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet on a concrete taxiway. The aircraft is taxiing toward the marshal, who is using hand signals to guide it. The scene appears to take place at a military airfield with a tree line and partly cloudy sky in the background.

    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Eric Hansard, 33rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, marshals an F-35A Lightning II jet during a hot pit refueling at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Oct. 22, 2020. Hot pit refueling allows for quicker refueling and shorter down time because it eliminates other inspections needed if the aircraft is shut down.

    Military personnel wearing camouflage uniforms and blue nitrile gloves are handling a black cable/wire reel with yellow wire on what appears to be a metal pipe or fuel transfer apparatus. The scene suggests a technical or engineering operation, likely involving grounding or bonding procedures for fuel handling equipment. The setting appears to be an outdoor paved area with additional equipment visible in the background.
    A U.S. Air Force service member in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform is conducting an inspection or recording readings at a fuel or fluid distribution system. The airman is wearing hearing protection and writing on a clipboard while standing among a complex array of pipes, valves, and gauges. The setting appears to be an outdoor fuel management or hydrant system facility, likely on an airfield.
