    A military aviator in an olive green flight suit stands with arms crossed in what appears to be a U.S. Air Force base facility or training center. Behind him, a scale model of what appears to be an MQ-9 Reaper drone is suspended from the ceiling, alongside a large American flag. The setting suggests a formal or official portrait taken inside a military building.
