The Republic of Korea air force 38th Fighter Group Aircraft Maintenance Unit won the Pen Fest 2021 competition at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, May 1.
The 8th Fighter Wing hosted the weapons loading event, which also included the 80th and 35th AMU from Kunsan, and the 25th and 35th AMU from Osan AB, ROK.
“This is the biggest weapons event in Korea, and probably in the world,” said Senior Airman Quentin Gonzalez, 80th AMU weapons load crew member. “There’s so much pride and so much love here.”
The crews traveled throughout the peninsula to the Wolf Pack and competed against each other as the clock was ticking, but in the end, the teams did it all for enjoyment and unity.
"It's all love here," said Staff Sgt. Andrew Martinez, 25th Aircraft Maintenance Unit weapons load crew member. "The adrenaline was pumping and there's a lot of people. All eyes are on you, but you just kind of zone out and have fun. I’ve never done pen fest before. This is my first time at Kunsan and it’s been really fun. This is such a big community, and everyone is here just to have a good time.”
The crew members reflect that even with the daily grind, they still found the time to get together and enjoy what they do best.
“With all the work that we do every day, I just want to thank everybody for putting this together,” said Gonzalez. “There’s a lot that went into it and a lot of people spent time volunteering on their off duty time actually putting this together for everybody.”
