Champagne Celebration on the Flight Line, Bob Karre Vietnam Collection

Aircrew celebrate a milestone achievement with a time-honored champagne dousing ritual on the flight line. Traditions like this, often marking a pilot's 100th combat mission or final sortie of a tour, provided moments of joy and camaraderie that helped sustain morale throughout a demanding Vietnam War deployment.
