Leaving England


So I know it has been awhile and these past 2 1/2 months have been a bit crazy with lots of change. Jay and I (as most if not all of you know) have moved back to the states!! As amazing as being in England was it is really nice to be back in the states. So here are a few pictures from our last few weeks in England. These are from Jay's fini flight in the F-15 at Lakenheath as well as the Reaper Passing that was hosted by Spike & Stephanie as well as some going aways of other friends in the Squadron who were leaving around the same time we were.

Jay's Fini Flight:

Jay taxing in...
Handing his gear down before he gets some water sprayed at him (that is the tradition at a fini flight, the person gets sprayed down as they are getting out of the Jet) so they usually try to get rid of as much gear as possible.
Getting sprayed and trying to fight back
Greeting me... with his sparkling cider
All the guys who was in his flight with him.
This Reaper Passing was a Road Rally that started in Cambridge and ended up at a pup north of base. Everyone divided in teams of 4-6... our team: Ryan, Jay, me, & Chuck. We had a lot of fun and thought we did really well...
In the Bury Gardens during one of our tasks... with the ruins in the back ground
Jay getting fareweled from Spike. It was a great time and a great way to spend some time with the whole gang before we left.
More to come on our arrival in the states...
