@kd7eir One is reminded of this ill-fated plan:
Oh, it's a very real thing:

"Helicopter work is a more efficient way to maintain areas that aren’t accessible with traditional methods like climbing trees or driving heavy machinery. Aerial saws are used often in the mountains or after storms when crews can’t access the area because of flooding or debris."
"... inaccessible because of a blanket of kudzu that’s too thick to walk or see through."
@JeffGrigg @kd7eir It's real, but dangerous:
Is it more dangerous than doing it the old-fashioned way? I don't know. Piloting the helicopter remotely might help.
@peterdrake @kd7eir
The alternatives are also risky.
