FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. – Pennsylvania National Guard helicopter crews conducted water bucket training May 11 at Fort Indiantown Gap.
Crews manning UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters filled their water buckets at Memorial Lake State Park and dumped them in Fort Indiantown Gap’s training corridor between Blue and Second mountains.
The Black Hawks were from the Eastern Army National Guard Aviation Training Site, and the Chinook was from the 28th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, both based at Fort Indiantown Gap’s Muir Army Airfield.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Alan E. Steinman, one of the pilots who took part in the exercise, said the training was very beneficial.
