The Washington football team had a pesky nature-created problem that could only be solved one way: With a helicopter.

As the Washington Post reported, the fields at the team’s training camp facility in Virginia were very soggy Friday morning, thanks to recent rain. So Lon Rosenberg, the team’s senior vice president of operations, called Jane Ferrara, the chief operating officer at Richmond’s Department of Economic and Community Development, for help. She set them up with HeloAir, a helicopter charter/”NASCAR race transportation shuttle” company that sent a chopper out to dry the fields so people could play football.

HeloAir dried the field at no charge, according to the Post. The company’s president said this isn’t the first time they’ve been called in to dry a sports field or motor speedway.
