I had a good friend that worked on an Air rig. Said you could see the dust cloud for miles. Sounded crazy as hell to me but I have seen some water well/rat hole rigs that used air.
These guys used to go out on a location and drill 40 feet or so. That way you could say you'd started drilling. Also it was handy on a rocky location to have then drill the rat hole and mouse hole ahead of time.

Yes, could be seen for miles.
Drill bit generated heat, pumped air was the oxygen supply. Hit your hydrocarbons and there would be a furnace downhole.
