The image is a black and white photograph of a fighter jet on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. The jet is a F-16C Fighting Falcon, with the number 401 on the tail and the letters "AAC" on the side. The pilot is wearing a helmet, a jacket, and pants, and is bending down to pick up the propeller of the jet. He is holding onto the wing with both hands and appears to be in the process of landing. The background shows the runway and the sky, and there is a hint of smoke in the air. The image appears to have been taken during the day.
