Weapon crews fight to be named 'best loaders of the year'
Staff Sgt. Ryan Skuller, 51st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, performs final safety checks on weapons loaded onto an F-16 Fighting Falcon during a weapons loading competition for the best load crew of the year in a hangar at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Feb. 25. Two teams from the 51st AMXS competed in the yearly competition, which included a tool kit inspection, written exam, military standards inspection and a loading evaluation for technical proficiency, safety procedures and overall time while loading weapons onto an aircraft. The winners of the competition will be decided later next month (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Chad Thompson).
