    A group of military personnel and at least one civilian are participating in what appears to be a traditional 'fini flight' water salute ceremony on an airfield tarmac. A person standing near the aircraft door is being sprayed with water from a hose held by the group. The aircraft visible is a US Air Force transport plane, likely a C-130 Hercules, based on its distinctive fuselage shape.
