JTF-B firefighting ops in Panama
A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter assigned to the 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment, Joint Task Force Bravo at Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras, carries a Bambi Bucket holding 700 gallons of water during a firefighting mission in the Darién province of Panama, April 17, 2016. The Bambi Bucket-equipped Black Hawk was ideal for this operation because of its ability to access areas unreachable by land firefighting crews and the volume of water each aircraft’s Bambi Bucket can drop on a single pass.
