Meh....the Corp drops dynamite or other charges from  helos here every few years to break up ice dams.  Kind of boring to see.  Now use a F/A 18 to do it and it might be more of a crowd pleaser.

I see that as excellent bombing training and practice.  Not only serves a purpose in opening a river but allows pilots to gain expertise in actual bombing runs.

We should do similar things.
