:icon_cool::yes: I know this is not motorcycle related but we have a few F6B owners that are pilots and can appreciate

Picking up Chritsmas trees from the field and loading them on to trucks, Skill and Inertia combined.

I thought the first shot was just luck.
Then I was just watching for a fireball.
Didn't see that pilot on AxMen program.

Reminds me of my father-in-law, (gold wing rider). Was a chopper pilot in Nam, came home, flew liaison, then helicopter crop dusting and construction, and corporate. I have flown with him many occasions, pilot myself, his touch is like a dance.

We worked with film companies making car commercials and one time the director was harnessed to the Huey hanging out the door to get the shot he wanted. All it required was that the pilot fly with the rotor tips a few feet from a rock wall up at Detroit Lake.
I wandered over to his ground support man and asked "Viet Nam?". He nodded and we shared a smile. I heard they could loop and barrel roll those things.

And for those that are not familiar...Detroit Lake is not in Michigan...it is in Oregon. "coffee"

Aeronautical poetry in motion. And not in an airshow but in the real work day world.

Pretty slick. Smooth and steady,,,Nice to see detail of the pick.

IMHO, the drop would be 'easy' compared to the pick,,, Still, looks like fun!!!!

We had some crane Ops that were pretty good moving steel around,,, (NO drops allowed!!! LOL!!!!)

Some good RC flying:
