Not trying to 'big-note' myself (love the phrase btw) but a video of a guy spicing up a tedious job in benign conditions is not going to make me run out and vote for him as the world's best helicopter pilot.

If he isn't big-noting himself, why is the video on you-tube? Some sympathetic editing means only one clean release is shown, all the rest change shot just after the trees get to the dumper.

I hope aspiring long-line pilots don't think that is the way you should treat all loads - that much swing on a heavy or valuable load would make for an interesting arrival!!

He's welcome to the job, a few hours of that would drive anyone to drink.
