    An F-15 Eagle fighter jet marked with tail code 'LN' and serial number '159' is captured in a low-altitude flight phase, likely on approach or just after takeoff. Both afterburners are visibly ignited, glowing orange, and the landing gear is fully extended. The aircraft is photographed against a backdrop of mountains and a clear blue sky.
