05 DEC 2008 --  Cols. David Romuald, Michael Fantini and John Dolan pose in front of an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Joint Base Balad, Iraq, after they each completed their 3,000th flying hour in an F-16 Dec. 2. As tradition would dictate, they were hosed down with water from fire department crash trucks after leaving their cockpits. Approximately 150 F-16 F-16 pilots have surpassed the 3,000 hour mark. Dolan is the vice commander of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing, Fantini is the commander of the 332nd Expeditionary Operations Group and Romauld is the 332nd Expeditionary Operations Group deputy commander.
