Col. Patrick McKenzie's Final Flight with the 510th Fighter Squadron ends in a traditional wet-down (water salute) by friends and family members. This "Fini Flight" marks the end of McKenzie's time with the Buzzards. Rule!

Col. Patrick McKenzie, 51st Fighter Wing commander, prepares to exit his F-16 Fighting Falcon after reaching 3,000 flying hours at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, March 28, 2013. Only a little more than 200 F-16 pilots worldwide are documented as sharing this 3,000-hour achievement. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Sara Csurilla)
