Hello everyone, and welcome to the August 2021 edition of Davis-Monthan AFB Desert Lightning News! An impressive show-of-force readiness exercise was on display recently at D-M, with the execution of an elephant walk, which is where aircraft taxi in mass formation. The exercise in late June featured all seven non-deployed EC-130H Compass Calls. “This Elephant Walk was a chance for all Airmen involved to show the capabilities of the ECG during a mass demonstration,” said Capt. Justin Knott, 55th ECG exercise mission commander. “We want all those involved in this event to recognize how their specific job fits into the greater Compass Call picture and garner a greater appreciation for those that work toward this mission with us.” We have more details of this event, along with much more news for you, in this month’s issue of Desert Lightning News!
