48th Fighter Wing commander completes final flight at RAF Lakenheath

Col. Jay Silveria, 48th Fighter Wing commander, is sprayed with water after completing his final flight as commander at RAF Lakenheath, England, May 13. As is U.S. Air Force tradition, before aircrew permanently change duty stations, they fly their last flight and on return to the base are met and hosed with water by their squadron comrades before being toasted with champagne. Colonel Silveria will depart England in June to become the Air Combat Command Inspector General at Langley Air Force Base, Va. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Tech. Sgt. Christopher Campbell)
