Thunderbirds, Go! ✈🎥🔥

Back in February, our team and the 3d Audiovisual Squadron documented the Air Force Thunderbirds as they honored the 250th anniversary of America.

Through their voices, we explore the daily 'grind,' the powerful 'why' behind their commitment, and the honor of representing a 70-year legacy. It is a narrative of heritage and endurance, capturing the team's journey as ambassadors for the entire U.S. Air Force.

Land, Air and Sea – our partnerships need no bounds 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

Check out this trailer showcasing the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, U.S. Forces Japan (在日米軍司令部) along with local Japanese community members, sharing their personal stories of partnership within their community.

March 11 marks the 15-year anniversary of the Great Tohoku Earthquake which sparked a massive tsunami and led to the Fukushima Daichi Power Plant disaster. Operation Tomodachi (translated "Operation Friendship"), started the very next day, rebuilding Sendai and other eastern costal towns.

The partnership of Operation Tomodachi didn't just happen – it was forged through the sense of community fostered every day with the communities around bases like Yokota Air Base, just outside Tokyo.

Be on the Lookout for the full video coming March 12.
