A B-52 Gets a Shower

A Boeing B-52 gets a shower at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, to honor the last flight of its pilot Lt. Col. Ronald Polomoscanik. Water is often sprayed over airplanes to mark a special milestone, such as a crewmember’s last flight or an airline’s first landing at a new destination.
