    A military or aviation ground crew member in dark blue coveralls is bent over examining wheel chocks placed on a taxiway or flight line at what appears to be a desert military airbase. The individual is standing on a yellow-marked concrete surface with multiple aircraft visible in the background. The arid, mountainous terrain in the background is consistent with a southwestern U.S. desert environment.

    A B-1B Lancer strategic bomber is being marshaled on a tarmac by a ground crew member wearing a high-visibility red vest. The aircraft is positioned facing forward on a concrete taxiway or ramp area, with arid desert mountains visible in the background. The setting appears to be a military airbase in a desert environment, likely in the American Southwest.

    A U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer strategic bomber is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft displays tail code 'EL' and partial serial number '3795', with its variable-sweep wings in a swept-back configuration. The bomb bay doors appear open on the underside of the fuselage.
    A large variable-sweep wing military bomber aircraft, consistent with a B-1B Lancer, is captured in a steep climb shortly after takeoff with landing gear still extended and in the process of retracting. The aircraft is painted in a dark gray low-visibility scheme and is photographed against a partly cloudy sky. A second, much smaller aircraft is visible in the distant background to the right.
