Red F-15 Eagle crew races to win weapons load

Senior Airman Nicholas Brooks, Staff Sgt. Vincent Franco and Senior Airman William Wakeland hoist the 188 pound AIM-9 onto the munition rail of an F-15 Eagle Feb. 17 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The 30-minute competition tests the knowledge and proficiency of the crews. The annual competition also identifies the load crew of the year and earns them bragging rights as the best of 22. The winning crew is scheduled to be announced at the Maintenance Professionals of the Year Banquet in March. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kristin Stewart)
