September 22, 2008 was Transformers II Family Day at Holloman Air Force Base. AirForceTimes reports:

Several prop vehicles used in the movie were displayed on base. Rolled into Hangar 500 were the Chevrolet Camaro that changes into the Transformer Bumblebee, a mockup of Bumblebee himself and semi-truck that morphs into Optimus Prime.

About 200 airmen from Holloman worked off-duty as extras for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” while filming was done at Holloman and the adjacent White Sands Missile Range.

Also involved the filming were six F-16 Fighting Falcons flying low-level mock attacks.
