That landing strip is pretty wild- I've landed there with James and it scared the #@$% out of me!
A lone impulse of delight drove to this tumult in the skies...

It is very difficult to fly a helicopter inverted. So if you want to cut the landing strip with a helicopter, you must have very smooth flying conditions. It also helps to initially clear the bigger rocks with manpower, because otherwise the rotor blades take a lot of punishment.

OK, OK - what I meant was: Were lawnmowers taken up by helicopter or were some chaps dispatched by foot with slashers??
