IWAKUNI, JAPAN - MAY 3: An Oshkosh P-19R Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle stands on display with its cab doors open on a rain-slicked tarmac during the 47th annual JMSDF/MCAS Iwakuni Friendship Day at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, on May 3, 2026. While inclement weather forced pilots to modify aerial performances, the joint open-house event continued on the ground, allowing local visitors to interact with heavy emergency logistical support machinery and static assets to highlight military response capabilities and reinforce the U.S.-Japan Alliance.
