Transcending traditions, JASDF pilot receives USAF goodbye

Japan Air Self-Defense Force Lt. Col. Katsushi "Kitty" Hashimoto, 3rd Tactical Fighter Squadron commander, thanks U.S. Air Force Capt. Jonathan Kay, 13th Fighter Squadron pilot, for taking part in his fini-flight at Misawa Air Base, Japan, March 23, 2015. 13th FS pilots and friends of Hashimoto from the 35th Fighter Wing showed JASDF members a different style of fini-flight common among U.S. fighter pilots. U.S. service members at Misawa AB maintain one of the strongest relationships with the local community and its military counterparts. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jose L.
