Warriors Over The Wasatch Air Show 2024

Janicki’s Utah crews experienced an exhilarating spectacle of the Warriors Over The Wasatch Air Show on June 29. This event is held every other year at Hill Air Force Base and Janicki hosts a watch party at our Layton facility. The plant is located adjacent to the base and has a great view of the show. This event brings together Janicki employees and their families for a day filled with awe-inspiring aerial displays and exciting activities.

Thrilling Aerial Displays

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the stunning aerial performances. Employees huddled under tents and packed chairs out behind our facility to view the show. From the precision of the Thunderbirds to the cutting-edge maneuvers of F-35s and the majestic presence of a B-2 Bomber, the skies above Layton were alive with the roar of engines and the thrill of high-flying acrobatics. The explosions and dogfighting routine of Tora Tora Tora were also very exciting!

Family-Friendly Fun

Beyond the air show, plenty of activities entertained everyone throughout the day. Mini golf and giant chess provided a relaxing break between flights, while a Lego truck sparked creativity among younger attendees. Balloon Man Shan delighted children with face painting and intricate balloon art, adding colorful fun to the event.

Delicious Catering and Cool Treats

Red Beard BBQ served up mouthwatering barbeque that satisfied appetites, while Dole Whip offered refreshing ice cream treats to beat the summer heat. There were plenty of goodies to be found!

The Warriors Over The Wasatch Air Show provided a unique opportunity to come together, share in the excitement of aviation, and create lasting memories. We look forward to the next event!

Employee Stories: Nick, Production Technical Lead

Nick, a production technical lead on the Metals Value Stream team at the Utah site, recently celebrated his 8th anniversary with Janicki. His interest in aerospace and technical work began when he enlisted in the Army in 2008, a passion that he continues to bring to his role at Janicki.

Nick served several critical roles for the Army and National Guard, primarily focused on maintaining Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters. Nick has been deployed twice, once from 2008-2009 and a second time while he was working at Janicki, from 2018-2019.

In 2015, a friend referred him to Janicki. The idea of working on the opposite side of the spectrum from his service was very exciting. Nick started as a mill tech machining composite skins and other fly-away parts in Mills 7 and 8 in Utah. The similarities between his service and work at Janicki are very obvious, where safety, quality, and foreign object debris (FOD) control are all top priorities. That overlapping focus allowed Nick to flourish at Janicki, where he had a short stint as Mill 7 cell manager before his second deployment in 2018, and then upon returning from Iraq as the Assembly 5 cell manager for over four years.

Nick has been in the production technical lead role since 2022 and is also working on quality assurance training to expand his skills. He enjoys the culture and the people he works with and learns from daily.

“I love what I do and want to come to work every day,” states Nick. “I am honored to have the opportunity to grow and help move our needle with each new project.”

Nick’s most memorable experience at Janicki has been witnessing two rocket launches from Cape Canaveral while performing on-site work at a customer’s Florida assembly facility.

“The sight, sound and feeling of the reverberations in my chest are something I will never forget,” said Nick.

When Nick isn’t machining the largest and most challenging parts in the aerospace industry, he is finding every chance he can to escape to the mountains. He loves fly fishing and camping with his daughter, Brinlynn (12), and dog, Luke.
