T-6 Texan IIs from the 559th Flying Training Squadron and the 39th FTS participated in an “Elephant Walk” Oct. 26, 2018, at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. An Elephant Walk is more commonly known as a “show of force,” but the squadrons here conducted one to get in touch with their heritage. Because the 559th FTS traces its lineage back to the 81st Bombardment Squadron, the lead aircraft is painted in the colors of the B-25s they flew in World War II.
