Saying goodbye

Richard Smeeding, the outgoing PACAF F-16 Fighting Falcon Demonstration Team pilot, after his final demonstration flight at the 42nd Annual Friendship Day air show at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, May 5, 2018. After two years of being the demonstration pilot, Smeeding began training his replacement, Capt. Jacob Impellizzeri, three months ago.
