Nope.  Dassault Rafales escorting an A400M and A330 MRTT for the most part with only a pair of MiG-29s.  This photo shows a little better:

Thanks, Frank. That red had made me wonder if this was over Oz.

Marston Mat or Perforated Steel Planks.  How many square miles of this was cranked out in WWII? This corral is the largest assemblage still in use I've seen in a long time. Sonoma County, California.
