Load crew of the year
Senior Airmen Kevin Hawkins and Tyler Marking, of the 96th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Blue, examine the fins and wings to be placed on the AIM-120 during the 2012 Loadcrew of the Year competition Jan. 18 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The best of the best maintainers from AMU Red and Blue battled for the title of this yearly competition. The Blue Team was timed and judged for accuracy of their weapons load of an F-16, while the Red Team was evaluated on an F-15. Although the Blue Team finished first, the competition is still being judged. The winners will be announced at the 96th Maintenance Group annual awards banquet in March.
