JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. –
The
27th and 94th Aircraft Maintenance Units each provided a three-man team that competed
for the “3rd Quarter Top Weapons Load Crew” title at Joint Base Langley-Eustis,
Nov. 3, 2017.
During the competition, the teams were evaluated
on their capability to accomplish a successful weapons load on a U.S. Air Force
F-22 Raptor. Any infractions that were seen during the load were counted and
deducted from their total time after they completed the competition.
“Weapons load competitions offer an
opportunity for our weapons personnel to sharpen their skills against the best
weapon loaders across the 1st Maintenance Group and possibly the Air Force, “
said U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Christopher Shaver, 1st Maintenance Group
weapons loading manager. “All while showcasing their extraordinary and
professional talents to the wings.”
After the evaluation team tallied up all of
the points, the 27th AMU came out on top. There will be one more competition
this year before the annual winner is determined.
