Warming..

 

Waste..

 

Elephant..

 

The United States and allies conducted an exercise called "elephant walk" on the island of Guam. Approximately two dozen aircraft took part.

The event took place on 19 July 2023. The aircraft took to the skies simultaneously at the US Air Force Base Andersen:

  • five F-35 Lightning II (USAF);
  • one B-52H Stratofortress;
  • two KC-135 Stratotanker (USA);
  • two C-17 Globemaster III (USA);
  • one C-130 Hercules (USA);
  • four Rafale (France);
  • two A400 Atlas (France and UK);
  • one A330 MRTT (France);
  • two C-130J Super Hercules (Australia and Canada);
  • one CC-150T Polaris (Canada)
  • one C-130H Hercules (Japan).

Additional B-52H Stratofortress nuclear bombers were parked nearby.  

The elephant in the room is global warming, "No fossil fuel " claims. In order to show power and to deter or threaten Iran, North Korea, China, Russia, and others, let the Elephant walk.

Happy Elephant Walk.
