Gage Richardson, 8, son of Col. Neil Richardson, 374th Airlift Wing vice commander, helps marshal a C-130 Hercules that his father flew on for his “fini” flight at Yokota Air Base, Japan, April 13, 2017. The “fini” flight follows an Air Force tradition dating back to WWII where upon completion of an aircrew member’s final flight they are doused with water and congratulated by their comrades in arms and family.
