173rd Fighter Wing Commander retires
Col. Jeremy “Weed” Baenen, the 173rd Fighter Wing Commander for scant hours before retiring, showcases the forethought that carried him to the helm of the Wing immediately following his “fini flight”, Nov. 21, 2014. The “fini flight” is a tradition among pilots and aircrew where upon disembarking they get hosed down with water. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt. Jefferson Thompson/Released)
