Fighter jets from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), US Air Force (USAF), and Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) flew alongside each other for a trilateral exercise held at Exercise Cope North in Guam.

Cope North is a multilateral US Pacific Air Forces-sponsored field training exercise conducted every year at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.

For the first time in the history of Exercise Cope North, Australian, United States and Japanese F-35s flew alongside each other over Guam, demonstrating their commitment to the development of their trilateral relationship.

The three countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding in July 2024, with a common goal of keeping peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
