MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - An explosive charge detonates behind staged Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force T-5 aircraft with the JMSDF White Arrows, during the Marine Air-Ground Task Force demonstration of Family Day at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, May 3, 2025. Family Day allowed both U.S. and Japanese members of the MCAS Iwakuni community, their family members, local orphanages, and members of the local community with special needs the ability to experience a small-scale Friendship Day during the air show rehearsal, which showcased the strength of the U.S.-Japan Alliance.
