    Default Last Flight

    A friend of mine had his last flight in the Military recently after 20+ years. We call them "Fini" flights.

    Here is a video of his low pass over the flightline. There is some colorful language in there...

    No animals or regulations were violated in the making of this video.

    Miss that guy.

    Nice pass! That had to be a little emotional..... Knowing you would (possibly) never be doing that again!

    That is awesome and that just reminded me of my last day onboard the Mighty U.S.S. Briscoe and me tossing my white dixie cup (hat)
    off the fantail right before I left the ship.

    Cool video Hoser. Thanks for posting. A 130 went right over my house yesterday. I was wondering if it was you.

    Awesome... make sure you let your buddy know that most slurry bomber pilots are former AF pilots, ya know, if he wants another kickass job.

    Fini Flights are always a little emotional. Hard to leave it behind.

    I waved... We were not as low as I wanted.

    Mike was one of our MAFFS pilots, now he is a lead plane pilot for the Forest Service. You would be amazed how many civilian Air Tanker Pilots have never served in the Military.

    Very cool stuff! All they do for our guys is have the fire guys shoot a couple water cannons over them! Passengers don't like low passes for some reason.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
