M1 - W2 - D1 -- Fini

It is finished :(  The boss has taken his last flight as the commander here.   

As he rolled down the taxiway, the Airmen of the wing lined the way to his parking place.  What  a site to see...that pretty plane rolling by his Airmen.

But not all get to "stand around" and watch...there are so many great maintainers who work in some difficult conditions.  No matter the heat, wind or other weather, these Airmen are keeping these old planes flying.  It is no small feat, but you should have saw the Crew Chief when he saw his plane returning home after a successful mission.  I would say he "screamed like a little girl" as the BOSS did a quick fly-by before landing.  However, their job just begins when the plane gets parked.

Those Pilots do it right...when they tell each other good bye!  What a way to tell someone you appreciate them by soaking them with a fire truck hose.  ???  Seems like a weird tradition, but great to see.  










The fini flight went all day long with the boss coming home (safely) and conducting a fly by in an aircraft that Mrs. Blue loves!  Yes, the B-1 Bomber...


Here HE is....our BOSS  --  Wingman, Leader, Warrior!
