Comparing the Blackhawks at treetop height to the medical rescue helicopters is like our man’s aforementioned straight-piped Harleys, vs postie bikes.

I remain baffled by the “need” to fly exactly the same path so many times if it was for general training (if it were planned thus, targeted letterbox drops would have been practical/effective). My New Australian neighbours, who work all sorts of strange hours cleaning just to get a toehold in the place, were walking their dog back and forth on the footpath for a good hour after it all died down, simply to calm the poor bugger - it was too intense for anything like a Thundercoat to work. Their English isn’t good enough to research or understand the website mentioned earlier, and they are fearful of engaging with authorities.
