"Our pilots operate our helicopter mounted saw with pinpoint accuracy. The aerial saw is powered by a compact fuel injected engine, with low emission operations and is able to side-trim a 20' path of vegetation an average three miles per day (both sides)."
This thing VS zombie piles in World War Z.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me--or does the pilot look a lot like Keven Spacey?

ReplyDeleteMy father is a pilot who flew many jobs with this type of helicopter, and has threaded tow cables for high voltage lines, just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ia6FNK0D50
Thank you, E. I think that video is blogworthy.
