    A row of F-16 Fighting Falcon jets belonging to the South Dakota Air National Guard are lined up on a flight line apron. Multiple ground crew personnel are visible performing maintenance and pre/post-flight servicing activities around the aircraft. One aircraft features a distinctive heritage tail marking with what appears to be a colonial-era flag design.
    A ground crew technician wearing blue hearing protection is inspecting or servicing the open cockpit of a military fighter jet. The canopy is raised, revealing the ejection seat with a red survival kit, and the aircraft fuselage displays standard rescue markings and canopy jettison instructions. The pilot's name 'Andrew "Face" Lauck' is inscribed on the canopy rail.
