Col. Tony Schenk, 437th Operations Group deputy commander, and Lt. Col. Russ Catanach, 315th Operations Group vice commander, perform pre-flight checks prior to take-off July 1, 2014, on the flight line at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina. Schenk and Catanach were both members of the initial cadre of C-17 pilot teams that flew C-17s to Charleston Air Base more than 20 years ago, and were now participating in Schenk’s ‘fini flight,’ an aviation tradition in which aircrew members are met by their unit comrades, family and friends and soaked with water after completing their final flight with their unit.
