Seeing as RC aircraft models have a range of about 1500-3000 feet, the helicopter gunships must have been hovering over a field occupied by children.
I ordered some RC aircraft for my kids for Christmas. It would be an unnecessary extravagence to use these to disperse anything...it could easily be done countless other ways.

Keep in mind that the military's Predator and Global Hawk are RC aircraft. Even among the hobby group, you can get some pretty hefty long-range planes.
Just like with model rockets ranging from "bottle rocket" size all the way to twelve-foot tall giants that will go into the stratosphere

This 17-foot-wingspan Lancaster bomber model could probably carry quite a bit of fuel and payload is somebody wanted to use it for ugly purposes (The site wont let me link the image directly)
