    Final Flight, Lifelong Bond: 103rd Pilots Celebrate Retirement Together

    Lt. Col. Josh Panis, a Pilot with the 103rd Airlift Wing, disembarks from his final flight and is greeted by jubilant friends and family holding champagne bottles and squirt guns in East Granby, Connecticut, May 3, 2025. Completing a "fini" flight and getting doused in champagne afterwards is a tradition for retiring pilots. Lt. Col. Panis celebrated a double retirement with longtime friend and colleague Lt. Col. Gary Caponetti.
