spraypilot Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have heard of tree trimming with a heli. but never seen it, did a google search (helicopter crop dusting). On the 9th o on google click on Pilot Mad Skies, a really great video showing it. I was amazed, WOW. The guy flying the Hughes 500D looks like he is really working the cyclic. Are any of you guys doing this? if not would you? any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FauxZ Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Aerial Solutions Inc. out of North Carolina. Last time I checked in with them (Aug) they still hired 1000 hour pilots and trained them up. The problem is they don't hire very often, not huge amounts of turnover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Heli Flyer Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I guess that James Bond movie wasn't so far out there after all. Really different looking equipment but the same principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
