The three-chopper "Cool Cuts" team, from Salinas, Calif.
Team leader Jim Cheatham, 55, leads the chopper trio, which also includes corporate pilot Kent Reinhard and fellow aerial applicator Bob Bolton.
The two-seat Robinson R22 can fly at cruising speeds of 100 mph, but can dart, spin and turn like a remote-control ballet of dragonflies. Cool Cuts are the only helicopter demonstration team on the airshow circuit.
