    U.S. Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Paul Anderson smiles at members of the 305th Rescue Squadron after being hosed down with water during his “fini flight” celebration at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, Feb. 25, 2026. It is a long-standing tradition for the ground crew, fellow pilots, and family to douse the pilot and their aircraft with water (and sometimes champagne) upon their final return.
