What is Elephant Walk?
An elephant walk is a United States Air Force (USAF) term for the taxiing of military aircraft right before takeoff when they are in close formation. Usually, it takes place right before a minimum interval takeoff. The benefits of an elephant walk include being able to demonstrate the potential of the units as well as teamwork. It is usually performed to prepare squadrons for wartime operations and to prepare pilots for the launching of fully armed aircraft in one mass event.
The celebration was marked with Swift and Lethal #75@75 as the nation completed 75 years of Independence on August 15.
