Arming the Eagle: weapons load members set standard

Senior Airman Mitchell Sanborn, 335th Fighter Generation Squadron weapons load crew member, loads an unarmed practice [GBU-10 Paveway II] munition onto an F-15E Strike Eagle as part of a weapons standardization load evaluation at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, June 8, 2023. The load evaluation is facilitated by the 4th Maintenance Group Weapons Standardization Section, and is a recurring training for Airmen responsible for the wartime skill of loading armaments onto aircraft. The WSS’s loading standardization crew members are deemed subject matter experts by their leadership, and help train, evaluate and certify load crew members to ensure aircraft armament personnel are ready to perform their job safely and effectively.
