I sheared enough Christmas trees in my youth to never want to see another one.  That guy can sure fly that bird - kudo's to the crew running the choker at the pickup point.

He's got one guy on the ground.

I was once involved in a mountain side rescue of a severely injured glider pilot.  The pilot cut the bushes down on the side of the mountain just feet about our heads.  It was the only way he could get close enough to stuff my buddy in the chopper.  Mid-day thermals were rocking and it was the craziest piece of flying I have ever been that close to.  My knees were shaking so badly I could barely walk back up the mountain.

Great video!

I like watching the Aussies herding cattle with choppers.

Well, if they bring 6s, they're 1st, out of Campbell.  They're the ones we play with mostly.
