Gents, I have been doing external lift work for over 20 years. We always submit a CAP with the FAA unless we are working in the swamps, mountains etc.

How and why do I see saw operators flying their saw at 500 feet over my hometown (major city metro area), to include neighborhoods, four lane major roads and industrial areas ?

At some point a saw will drop out of the sky, and at 700-800 lbs - it's not going to be good !
