A NASA F-15D aircraft flies above a cloud layer under a bright blue sky, pitched slightly to the right with its lower right wing closest to the viewer. Two pilots are visible – one in the front seat and one in the rear. The NASA logo appears on the aircraft’s right vertical stabilizer. The aircraft is framed by the wing of another white aircraft in the foreground.
