    Transportation specialists move a stripped-down F-35 airframe to Fleet Readiness Center East using a self-propelled transport dolly. The airframe arrived at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, aboard a barge via the Intracoastal Waterway from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina. 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.

    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.
    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 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.
