192nd FW weapons load competition
Tech. Sgt. David Martens performs an AIM-120 missile wing and fin preparation, during a weapons crew load competition at the 94th Fighter Squadron Oct. 17. This preparation is done to ensure the wings and fins are undamaged prior to installation on the missile. Sergeant Martens is one of the crew members from the Air National Guard’s 192nd Fighter Wing working out of the 94th Aircraft Maintenance Unit. The 27th and 71st AMUs will perform similar competitions and earn points based on the fastest and safest crew. After each crew competes, scores are tallied and a winning crew will be announced. Competitions are performed on a quarterly basis, and these winners will compete for the Load Crew of the Year. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Cecil C. McCloud)
