Lock 'n Load Weapons Comp

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Quinn Ball, 56th Maintenance Group weapons load crew member, secures an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile for a U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II during the third quarterly weapons load competition, Oct. 6, 2023, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. The load competition featured the loading of an AIM-120 AMRAAM, an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, and a GBU-12 with a time standard of 30 minutes. Exercises like the weapons load competition help advance training to produce command focused U.S., allied, and partner Airmen to meet warfighting needs.
