    A U.S. Marines F-35B stealth fighter jet is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft bears visible markings including 'MARINES' text, a unit designation that appears to read 'VMFA-533', and the number '5' on the tail. The jet is banking slightly, providing a clear view of its underside and stealth-optimized airframe.

    A military pilot is seated inside the cockpit of a fighter jet, visible through the tinted canopy. The pilot is wearing a flight helmet with a raised visor and appears to be in a pre-flight or ground operations phase. A warning label on the canopy frame reads 'WARNING - DO NOT CUT CANOPY WITHIN 3 INCHES OF CANOPY FRAME.'
