Service worthy of a legacy
Col. Jeff Van Dootingh, the commander of the 910th Airlift Wing, is sprayed with water at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, on May 6, 2023, after his “fini-flight” aboard a C-130H Hercules aircraft. A “fini-flight” is a time-honored tradition of taking one last flight as an Air Force aircrew member before being drenched with water and champagne by friends and family as the honoree exits the aircraft.
