The image is a black and white photograph of a fighter jet on a runway. The jet is a F-15E Strike Eagle, which is a type of military aircraft used by the United States Air Force. The photo is taken from the side of the jet, looking up at the nose of the aircraft.

In the foreground, there is a man standing on the steps of the cockpit, working on the jet. He is wearing a uniform and appears to be in the process of loading or unloading the jet's engines. The man is holding onto a ladder and is using it to climb up the side. In the background, there are other military vehicles and buildings visible. The sky is clear and the ground is dry, suggesting that the photo was taken during the day.
