That's awesome. Too bad for you that tree didn't happen to be on a runway.

No Proxies but as I am sitting there in my perch in the tree I look over at a red barn a couple hundred feet away and in the barn I see
a NME jeep, this was right out side of our  town, so I had to call in a flight to kill the jeep so I could get a ditch without the NME jeep driver getting a proxy
as I end flight.

Except you've been caught in one of the largest trees on earth.  :rofl
