Air Force 35th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Emergency Services members hose down Col. Jesse J. Friedel, 35th Fighter Wing commander, while he taxis an F-16 Fighting Falcon during his fini-flight at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 22, 2022. A final flight, or fini-flight, is a USAF tradition, to celebrate one’s last flight with their unit, by spraying champagne, making a toast and dowsing water from a fire truck onto the aircraft and aircrew.
