Twenty-four C-130 Hercules transports were photographed going down a runway in Texas as part of a joint exercise.

The move was part of the US Air Force’s Joint Forcible Entry Exercise, which also included 20 C-17 Globemasters.

More fighter and support aircraft and ground combat assets were in the training exercise.

At one point, 24 Hercules craft were shot heading down the runway. The process is known as an “elephant walk,” which are done at airbases to prepare for war-time operations.
