Col. Kurt Gallegos, the 944th Fighter Wing commander, leads a four-ship formation with the A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-15 Strike Eagle, during his fini-flight near Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., June 2, 2017. Gallegos, a career F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot with more than 4,100 hours, was the first F-16 pilot to drop bombs in Afghanistan after the September 11, 2001 attacks. His fini-flight marks the end of a 32-year Air Force career. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Larry E. Reid Jr.)
