Description
During the massive fires that engulfed San Diego County in May of 2014, it included thousands of acres on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. The fires were so large, so many, and moving so rapidly, that every helicopter on base was fitted with a water collection bucket ( i.e. bambi bucket ), and pressed into action. Each squadron was painted with impromptu color schemes to help identify each other. In this image, an MH Sea Hawk is seen collecting water on it's way back to the airfield to protect the airfield's fuel reserves. Any any given point, more than a dozen helicopters could be see above you.
