35th Fighter Wing Commander's Fini-Flight

Tanks filled with water and champagne bottles sit along the flightline after being used to spray U.S. Air Force Col. Jesse J. Friedel, 35th Fighter Wing commander, after his fini-flight at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 22, 2022. A final flight, or fini-flight, is a USAF tradition, to celebrate one’s last flight with their unit, by spraying champagne, making a toast and dowsing water from a fire truck onto the aircraft and aircrew.
