The Gunsmoke ’93 “Loadeo” competition where ground crews see how fast and safe they can service fighter jets or bombers in combat situations. This is called a “pit stop” or an “integral combat turnaround.” This image is of members of the 917th Tactical Fighter Wing from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana loading ammunition into an A-10 Thunderbolt at Nellis Air Force Base in October 1993.
