I guess he's got the inertia thing figured out here

 
 
That's workin' it!

Looks like the ground hook up operation can be a bit dangerous at times.
 
HE WAS GETTING PAID BY THE LOAD NOT THE HOUR
 
I once watched a guy do a masterful job of spraying a vineyard on a steep slope in Germany. Some chopper pilots are absolutely amazing!

The logging pilots of the northwest amaze me.
 
I once watched the CH 46 pilots of Loyd's logging off load a whole summers cutting of shake blocks from the 9000' level of Mt Baker in less than 3 hours. 4 helos doing a round pattern dropping the 1 chord loads into lake Shannon every 8 minutes each, IOWs every 2 minutes there was a chord of shake blocks hitting the water.
 
Maybe he's got some past experience slinging SF on spy rigging :)

Edit to add - just how much does one get for these trees on the wholesale market?
