Wayne's Final Flight

Tradition in our flying world is that you get a special treat after landing on your last flight in a unit. My "fini" flight was Monday and here are the pictures...

Lindsay and the kids showed up early and I wound up landing late due to an issue getting refuelled, but it worked out fine. I knew it was late and didn't think many people would stay to see me land, so I wasn't expecting much. I made it out of the helo and then saw the hostile crowd approaching, led by my flight engineer from my last deployment. I tried to fight them off but wound up duct taped and dumped in a bin full of ice water and sea dye anyway. Did I mention it has been cooling off at night lately?


After the dunking they painted my feet green and gave me a ceiling tile to leave as my legacy.



Thankfully, the sea dye did not turn me green (as my flight engineer was hoping) so I wound up relatively unscathed, other than a few bruises.
