The weapons load teams have the job of upload weapons on aircraft prior to flights. Unless the 199th Fighter Squadron were doing live firing, the weapons load teams download at the weapons when the aircraft returned to base. It is a thankless job.

The challenge of loading weapons increased dramatically during full chemical suit operations.

The members of the Weapns Shop were alway hard workers who got their job done.
