Rhinos get upside-down helicopter ride to safety
"This new procedure is gentler on the darted rhino because it shortens the time it has to be kept asleep with drugs, the respiration is not as compromised as it can be in a net and it avoids the need for travel in a crate over terrible tracks," he added. "The helicopter translocations usually take less than ten minutes, and the animals suffer no ill effect," he said, noting that the rhinos are transferred to trucks once road conditions are adequate.

Wanna see a great big formation of helicopters, each carrying this cargo. Fifty -- no, make that a hundred. With Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" playing. Big ol' sunrise or sunset in the background.

For some reason, the movie version of "MASH" comes to mind.
