    A carrier-based jet fighter, consistent with an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is captured in a low-altitude approach or just-launched position above the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. The landing gear is fully extended, suggesting an arrested landing approach. A group of personnel in tan/khaki uniforms are visible on the right side of the deck near what appears to be a deck-edge structure.
