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.
