On January 6th, soldiers from C. Co 1-111th Aviation Regiment, Florida Army National Guard conducted recurrency training on bambi bucket operations with a UH-60M Blackhawk. This training was performed at Lake Fretwell, located at Cecil Airport. The 420-gallon bambi bucket allows helicopters to dip from water sources and to then deliver water where it’s needed for aerial firefighting operations.
