Ending on a fly note; Cannon leaders continue ‘fini flight’ tradition

An Airman from the 9th Special Operations Squadron peers out from the back of an aircraft used for a ‘fini flight’ early in the morning at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, Jun. 9, 2017. Dating back to World War II, the U.S. military has celebrated pilots’ and other experienced officers’ final flights either at their current unit or their career. Pilots use these celebrations as another opportunity to help train accompanying Airmen on their roles aboard the aircraft to ensure mission readiness. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Lane T.
