Knutson was on a three-person team that competed against seven other crews to strategize and load munitions on an F-35A or an F-16 Fighting Falcon in the fastest time. The 56th Fighter Wing hosted the competition to determine the load crew team of the year and recognize maintenance Airmen for their proficiency in arming aircraft with munitions.
