Tonight was Brandon's "Fini-Flight" as an Aggressor pilot. It was a bittersweet sight to watch him taxi his familiar blue jet for the last time - and perhaps his last time in an F-15 for a while. While we don't know what the future holds, we do agree that change is good and we're both ready to dive into whatever lies ahead.

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been...
... and there you will always long to return.
We both love the backdrop that surrounds Vegas.
Rolling into his parking space.
The gorgeous desert sunset.
Tradition in the military world is to hose the pilot down during his final flight. Unfortunately, my camera was having issues so you can't see that part - but, you can tell he's pretty wet in the above photo. He also gets a champagne shower from the rest of the squadron clan.
Considering it was only 60 degrees outside, that cold water did not feel at all refreshing.
We're going to miss these guys!!
Cheers!!
