    A formation of U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft taxiing in sequence along a military airfield taxiway. The aircraft are painted in standard gray livery and bear 'U.S. AIR FORCE' markings. This appears to be an 'elephant walk' formation exercise, a demonstration of rapid sortie generation capability.

    459th Air Refueling Wing KC-135R Stratotankers conduct an elephant walk during an alert exercise at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, March 5, 2017. The term “elephant walk” has been used since World War II when large numbers of aircraft would line up for rapid response take-off. Onlookers said the procession looked like elephants headed to a watering hole, and the name has been part of the U.S. Air Force lexicon ever since.
