11th BS, dual fini flights
Lt. Col. Kieran Denehan, commander, 11th Bomb Squadron (left) and Lt. Col. Gregory Lewis, director of academics, 11th BS, focus on a massive water-aided counter attack after returning from their final flight with the squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., June 17, 2011. Approximately 50 family, friends and co-workers gathered together for the traditional wetting down after a final flight. The 11th BS works alongside the 93rd Bomb Squadron as partners in the B-52 Formal Training Unit at Barksdale, which trains flight crews for the B-52 Stratofortress. To accomplish this task of forging new aviators into Combat Ready B-52 crewmembers takes the work of both AF Reserve and Active Duty Members. (U. S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Jeff Walston)
