HANOI: Hong Hon proposed to his girlfriend from a helicopter, with the words “Will you marry me” on the grass 150 meters below.

The 29-year-old from northern Ninh Binh province says he rented a Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopter to fly around Bali, Indonesia, during their trip there last month because he knew his 26-year-old girlfriend, Hoang Anh, loved romantic gestures.
