    A crane lifting operation is underway at a waterfront dock or barge facility, where a large covered object — appearing to be a tarp-wrapped aircraft or vehicle — is being hoisted by a yellow crane. A red Mammoet heavy-lift support unit is positioned nearby, and multiple workers in safety gear are supervising and guiding the lift. The setting appears to be a coastal or inland waterway location surrounded by pine trees under clear blue skies.

    Fleet Readiness Center East

    Transportation specialists at the docks aboard Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, use a crane to lift an F-35 airframe from a barge and transfer it to a self-propelled transport dolly for movement to Fleet Readiness Center East. The barge delivered the airframe from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, via the Intracoastal Waterway. FRCE will use the stripped-down airframe as a depot maintenance trainer and in engineering testing, which will allow for the development of improved tooling, maintenance procedures and sustainment practices.

The setting appears to be a coastal or inland waterway location surrounded by pine trees under clear blue skies.
    A large military aircraft covered in a gray protective tarp is being lifted by a yellow crane and positioned onto a red Mammoet heavy transport vehicle. Several workers in red safety suits and hard hats are guiding the operation on a concrete surface. The scene appears to be at a military or industrial facility surrounded by trees and additional vehicles.
    A large covered aircraft is being transported on a Mammoet heavy-haul modular trailer at night on what appears to be an airfield or tarmac. The aircraft is concealed under a dark tarpaulin/cover, with its landing gear visible beneath the covering. Personnel in red high-visibility clothing are present near the transport vehicle.
    A yellow mobile crane is lifting or positioning a large aircraft component, likely a tail section or fuselage piece, covered with a gray protective tarp in an industrial or military facility yard. A red equipment unit branded 'MAMMO' (likely a Mammoet heavy lift/transport company asset) is visible in the foreground. The operation is taking place on a paved apron surrounded by brick and industrial buildings.
