Weapons load crews race time
U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Travis Jones, 20th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron weapons load crew member, uses a bomb loader to carry a GBU-31 version one bomb during the annual Weapons Load Crew of the Year competition at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., May 31, 2017. Load crews, comprised of three Airmen, raced against the clock and tried to beat the current record time of 25 minutes. Airmen had to load a GBU-31, AIM-9M and AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, as well as the M61A1 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannon quickly in efficiently to gain points towards victory.
