Quarterly load crew Competiton
Senior Airman Andrew Guise, Airman 1st Class Brady Lene and Airman 1st Class Orlandus Ray, all 49th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron weapons-load-crew members, prepare to load an inert missile for a quarterly load-crew competition at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., Jan. 17. This was the last load crew competition that the F-22 Raptor will participate in at Holloman. The F-22 load-crew competed to have their skills evaluated alongside the MQ-9 Reaper and the German Air Force Tornado load-crews. For the competition, points were awarded for weapons loading, tool kit inspection and uniform inspection. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Chase Cannon/Released)
