56th FW commander's fini flight ends with a splash

U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jason Rueschhoff, 56th Fighter Wing commander, is sprayed with water after his finial flight, June 14, 2024, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. The final flight, commonly known as a fini flight, is a tradition for pilots and some aircrew members who are retiring or moving to another base. Part of the tradition is getting hosed with water by fellow Airmen as soon as they step out of the aircraft after the flight. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Katelynn Jackson)
