    Distinguished guests of the South Carolina community listen in as Maj. Gen. Robert F. Hedelund, the commanding general of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, debuts the F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter to the community during a showcase of the aircraft aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Aug. 20. The F-35 will replace the Marine Corps' aging legacy tactical fleet providing the dominant, multi-role, fifth-generation capabilities needed across the full spectrum of combat operations to deter potential adversaries and enable future naval aviation power projection. MCAS Beaufort is expected to receive the aircraft in 2014 along with Marine Fighter Attack Training squadron 501, the Marine Corps' first F-35B training squadron, which falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 31 aboard MCAS Beaufort.

    A military officer in tan/khaki flight suit is speaking at a wooden podium with a microphone during a formal ceremony. The setting appears to be inside a military hangar, with a large American flag draped in the background along with multiple U.S. state flags. The officer wears aviator wings and rank insignia consistent with a senior Marine Corps officer.
    Two military fighter jets, identifiable as F-35 Lightning II aircraft, are positioned symmetrically inside a large military hangar. A large American flag is prominently displayed in the center background, flanked by a row of smaller flags representing various states or nations. The setting appears to be a formal ceremony or official display event.
    Two military jet aircraft are flying in close formation against a blue sky, each producing white vapor/condensation trails behind them. The jets appear to be modern stealth-type aircraft based on their angular silhouettes, possibly F-35s. The image was likely taken at an airshow or during a military demonstration flight.
    Two military jet aircraft are performing a steep vertical climb maneuver against a clear blue sky. Each aircraft is producing prominent white vapor/smoke trails from their engines or wingtips. The image appears to be taken at an airshow or military demonstration event.
    A single military jet aircraft is captured in a steep climbing maneuver against an overcast sky. The aircraft is leaving two prominent white vapor/condensation trails behind it as it ascends. The image appears to have been taken from below, providing an underside view of the aircraft.
