Col. Raul Rosario, 149th Fighter Wing commander, pilots his final flight in an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, May 14, 2021. The "fini flight" is a long-standing Air Force tradition that serves as a career milestone for pilots approaching retirement. Traditionally, friends, family and co-workers douse the pilot in water and/or a bottle of champagne upon final exit from the aircraft. (Air National Guard photos by Mindy Bloem)
