The image is a black and white photograph of a U.S. Air Force fighter jet parked on an airport tarmac. The jet is a F-4 Phantom II, a twin-engine, multirole combat aircraft used by the United States Air Force. It has the number 17 on the tail and the words "U.S." and "Air Force" written on the side of the fuselage. The tail of the jet has a star emblem and the number "72517" on it. The sky is cloudy and the ground is wet, suggesting that it has recently rained. The photograph appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the jet.
