The US Air Force has hidden F-35A Lightning II and F-15C Eagle fighter jets in hangars at Kadena Base to protect the planes from a typhoon

The other day, Japan was hit by typhoon Khanun, which originated in the Philippine Sea. This forced the US Air Force to put fourth- and fifth-generation fighter jets into hangars at Kadena base.

Here's What We Know

Tugs from the 18th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and 354th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron worked hard to hide the F-35A Lightning II and F-15C Eagle fighters. The decision to move the aircraft was made due to the U.S. Air Force's desire to protect them from high winds.

After the typhoon ended, personnel worked around the clock to get the fighter jets back on the runway. Everyone here was prepared for typhoon season, so "Hanun" didn't take anyone by surprise.

The timely provision of parking spaces for F-35A and F-15C is part of the military airbase's commitment as part of efforts to promote peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. This was stated in a press release on the official website of Kadena Base.
