Airman Hoses Down Comrade in 'Fini-Flight' Tradition Beside A-1 Skyraider, Vietnam War Era
Squadron mates celebrate a fellow airman's completion of his combat tour with the traditional water 'hosing down' on the flight line, a Skyraider's tail visible in the background. Rituals like this offered moments of relief and unity during the Vietnam War. Project: 218965
