We have a helicopter saw working near us - I watched it yesterday afternoon & it was back up at 8 this morning. Maybe 2 weeks ago, I saw it landing (saw attached) at the nearby airport, but we’ve had such high winds, it evidently wasn’t able to fly until yesterday.

This is some ‘crazy’ stuff - takes a good pilot & it’s a dangerous job. I found a video so if you haven’t seen this before, you can check it out.

Amazing! I now I know where all the ex-military helicopter pilots go for employment!
