Hosed!

Lieutenant Colonel Jeff "Saw" Sage of the Hawai‘i Air National Guard's 199th Fighter Squadron gets doused by a fellow pilot at the end of the unit's final F-15C Eagle training sortie. With the retirement of the Eagle, both pilots in the sortie were hosed down. It's been said that when a pilot or aircraft is retired, the pilot gets sprayed after the final sortie. The Hawai‘i Air National Guard held a media event for this event, which also featured their new F-22A Raptor.
