Flying Trees

I have been doing some thinning on a commercial Sycamore plantation. It was planted about 19 years ago and has reached about 6 metres high. The recent high winds have made life difficult. One larger 8 meter tree was being felled. When it was on the way down at about 45 degrees, a gust caught it and pushed it back up and then backwards. Only one thing for it, pick up the saw and run away!
