Fairborn Fire Honors Local Pilot’s Final Flight

Last month, the Fairborn Fire Department had the honor of supporting a retiring pilot’s fini flight—a tradition marking their final flight, dating back to WWII. With over 5,000 flight hours in the C-17 Globemaster, the pilot received a proper send-off with a water salute, provided by our team using a specially equipped fire engine. Fairborn is currently the only fire department in the country partnering with the U.S. Air Force to support fini flights.
