Fini Flight

Dave had his final ride in the F-15E on Monday. He has worked very hard as apart of the Strike Eagle squadron and we are so proud of him. It is not easy work! Here are a few pictures from his return after the final (aka "fini") flight.



The splashed him and his pilot with water as they got down from the jet.




These past three years may have been our only stint in a fighter squadron. From here Dave returns to Pensacola (after some training time in Texas) as an instructor for WSOs and navigators like himself, and after that tour, who knows what we will do! I know he will do a great job and he will enjoy his leadership position in Pensacola. I will enjoy being warm! But we have had an incredible experience here in England serving with the Bolars. We love our AF family and we will never forget our time here.

Once a Bolar... always a Bolar!
Cheers.
