U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Cody Ratchford, 79th Fighter Generation Squadron weapons technician, affixes fins to an AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) during the 20th Fighter Wing Annual Load Crew Competition at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Jan. 17, 2025. Missile fins provide stability and control by generating aerodynamic forces that adjust the missile's attitude and direction, similar to arrow fletching, keeping it on course.
