MAGTF stands for Marine Air Ground Task Force and was a display of what the Marines do. A simulated attack on the enemy and featured an attack by F-35's and F-18's followed by Venom and Viper helicopters, Super Stallion helicopters bringing in equipment , Hercules and Ospreys bringing in troops, plenty of pirotechnics and then an air to air refuelling demo with Hercules and F-18's. It was a very spectacular show.
