I thought that the story of people hunting from the air had been discredited and that if someone was capable of making such a shot, (s)he would make a very good sniper.

Been there, done that... or at least I tried to do that. My neighbor in Palmer was an Indian and he owned a light plane. He talked me into going on a wolf hunt with him one winter. He flew the plane and I shot the gun.

In order to shoot without damaging the plane we took the door off which left me sitting in the wind with a shotgun pointing out the door. I wore mittens until we saw a wolf when I would take off the one on my trigger hand. He’s try to put the plane over the wolf so I could get a shot. In the meantime my hand was getting colder and colder (it was about -45° outside) and the windchill was ridiculous. When we finally got into position my fingers wouldn’t work so the wolf got away.

Judging from personal experience I’d say that hunting wolves from the air gives them an unfair advantage over the poor stupid hunter.
