    A large formation of military aircraft is conducting an 'elephant walk' exercise on a runway, demonstrating combat readiness and rapid deployment capability. The formation includes multiple types of aircraft arranged in symmetrical rows extending down the runway centerline. This type of exercise is typically performed to demonstrate the ability to launch a large number of aircraft in a short period of time.

    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)
