@55f9abd9 300 feet? What insane pilots did they find for that mission? Retired Warthog pilots maybe, thinking Kentucky's rolling hills and heavy tree cover would be like flying over the deserts of the Middle East... This should all be done with drones. There are plenty of heavy lift aircraft available (mostly Korean) that are up to the task, but the damn FAA keeps blocking them. Someone's going to have to die before the FAA gets its head out of its asses.
