U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. John Valenzuela, 163d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 163d Attack Wing, MQ-9 Reaper crew chief, stands with a 163d Attack Wing MQ-9 Reaper at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., Sept. 13, 2025. The 163d Maintenance Group awarded Valenzuela with crew chief of the year because he continually pushes the capabilities of the MQ-9 Reaper team to further improve new techniques and operations with satellite launch and recovery, Portable Aircraft Control System familiarization, and communication with home-station pilots. Further, his colleagues applauded his solution-forward approach to problem solving, saying he attacks a problem from an ideal state and finds ways to mitigate limitations on a moment-to-moment basis.
