An HH-60G Pave Hawk from the 41st Rescue Squadron approaches an HC-130J Combat King II from the 71st RQS to conduct aerial refueling during 23d Wing commander Col. Thomas Kunkel’s fini-flight, June 27, 2017, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. The fini-flight is a long-standing Air Force tradition that occurs when a pilot departs from the base. Upon completion of their final flights, military aviators are hosed down with water or champagne by their family and friends before they depart their unit.
