    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 personnel member wearing a green flight suit and a white helmet with 'BURTON' written on it stands facing an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet parked under a hangar arch. The individual carries a black shoulder bag and has visible tattoos on their arm. The scene appears to be on an active military airfield under partly cloudy skies.
