Community Alert: Aircraft Flight Testing over Jennings Beach, December 5th-6th 
On Tuesday, December 5th and Wednesday, December 6th, Sikorsky Aircraft will be conducting essential flight testing off Jennings Beach involving a Blackhawk helicopter.
During these tests, the Blackhawk helicopter will be hovering at a relatively low altitude over the water, testing a Bambi Bucket (fire suppression device). Due to the colder weather, the flight testing would most likely occur between 10AM – 2PM as the Bambi Bucket requires air temperatures to be above 32 degrees. The testing involves multiple filling and emptying cycles throughout the day.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.
