Trav's Fini Flight in the 308th FS

Little man trying to figure out the water can so he can squirt daddy.
We have had some wonderful memories and friends in Arizona. We will miss it here!
The squadron meeting Travis on the flight line to say Congrats on his last flight with the squadron.

Travis flew with our friend Tim (Pub). We met him while we were in Alabama at SOS.

The kids continued to hose him down until the can was empty! It was hysterical!!



Watching as Daddy taxis in from landing

Riding the bus out to the flight line. Madison loved the headphones.
Walking in the squadron to board the bus out to meet Trav's jet

We were able to celebrate Trav's final flight at Luke AFB last week. Our great friends, the Bohms and Wallaces, joined us for this special event. Everyone gathered at the squadron, hopped on the bus, put in their ear protection and watched as Travis taxied in from his flight. It was so cool to see him flying the jet. The kids were so excited saying "That's my daddy!". As soon as he landed, the kids took the water can and hosed him down in true fighter pilot tradition. Of course, I don't think he minded considering the extreme 100+ desert heat!! After congratulations, we headed back to the squadron for a pizza party.
