The image is a black and white photograph of a fighter jet on a runway. The jet is a F-4 Phantom II, a twin-engine, single-engine aircraft used by the United States Air Force during World War II. It has a pointed nose and a pointed tail fin. The pilot is sitting in the cockpit, wearing a helmet and protective gear. The aircraft is painted in the colors of the American flag, with the number "F-4" visible on the side of the fuselage. The background shows a clear sky and a few trees in the distance. The photograph appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the pilot.
