    An aerial photograph captures a large formation of military aircraft conducting an 'Elephant Walk' on a runway, a demonstration of rapid deployment capability. The formation includes multiple types of aircraft arranged in tight rows across the full width of the runway. The image appears to be taken from an elevated or airborne vantage point, showing the full scale of the formation stretching into the distance.

    Twelve U.S. Air Force F-16CM Fighting Falcons, 12 Koku-Jieitai F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters, two U.S. Navy EA-18G Growlers, a USN C-12 Huron, two USAF MC-130J Commando II aircraft, and a USN P-8 Poseidon participate in an “Elephant Walk” at Misawa Air Base, June 22, 2020. The Elephant Walk showcased Misawa Air Base’s collective readiness and ability to generate combat airpower at a moment's notice to ensure regional stability throughout the Indo-Pacific. This is Misawa Air Base’s first time hosting a bilateral and joint Elephant Walk. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Melanie A. Bulow-Gonterman)
