Lt. Col. Michael Kendrick, 43rd Flying Training Squadron, glances out the window of a T-1A Jayhawk after landing from his fini-flight Aug. 14 on the Columbus Air Force Base flight line. The fini-flight is a military aviation tradition and here marked Kendricks’s retirement from the Air Force upon completion of his final flight on Columbus AFB. Upon completion of the fini-flight, it is tradition to spray down or douse the pilot in water upon leaving the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Airman 1st Class Stephanie Englar)
