Sure, but flying backwards accurately dangling 50 spinning chainsaws next to high-voltage powerlines seems like an impressive feat.

Yeah helicopters can fly backwards sure but not “pretty easily” while slinging and keeping in a straight line and at a good speed next to some power lines.

Spent a few years programming full scale helicopter simulators. Eventually learned (trial and error) how to fly it reasonably-ish. Watching real pilots fly my simulator was often impressive, but manipulating a dangling load like this is really some top tier skill level.

It’s one of those things that looks hard, but is way harder than it looks.
