Bonanza crash caught on video

They are the support poles for the obstruction lights so we don't hit the
trees at night. I guess hitting a 4" steel pole is better than hitting the
top of a Douglas fir, eh? And not that we couldn't do a little tree
climbing and mount the light to the top of the tree so the light would grow
along with the tree? Naaaaaah.

What the hell are they there for? I can't imagine why they would do that,
but then, if it is the FAA, I guess that explains it.

Don't you DARE suggest anything that makes sense!

What color are the lights (red I suppose) do they blink, and how far apart
do they put the poles?

Items attached to tree tops don't grow upwards. They stay where they
are while the tree grows up around it. Those little branches at the
top of the tree will stay right where they are for the life of the
tree.
