U.S. Air Force Col. Tracey Atherton, commander of the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, walks down the crew entry steps of a C-17 Globemaster III after her fini flight, while guests and Airmen assigned to the 315th Airlift Wing spray her with champagne and water at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, 13 April, 2025. The aircrew tradition of a “fini flight” marks the last flight in an aircrew member’s career with a gathering outside the aircraft after taxing resulting in the dousing of the Airman with champagne and cold water as the step off the aircraft to celebrate the moment.
