Your going to love this one
This was posted in the rotorcraft newsgroup the other day and I thought
the folks here might enjoy taking a peek as well. It's at the bottom of the AVweb site and from YOUTUBE it shows a clip of how power companies use helicopters to trim trees around power line. Enjoy. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive.../861-full.html |

Enjoy. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive.../861-full.html Delurking long enough to say that I have a couple of snaps from a disposable camera of two (highly paid) lunatics repairing insulators on high tension lines along Highway 1 coming out of the Keys. Both snaps were a feat for me as I was going 70 in a 55 zone, grabbed the disposable, stuck the thing out the window, used Kentucky windage, and didn't take my eyes off the road. The blades of the chopper were frighteningly close to the wires, the driver held it perfectly still in about a 15knot wind, and this other lunatic was standing outside leaning against a tether. Reminded me of the guys who climb the big wind turbines for routine maintenance, talk about 1000 yard stares! post them. |

I thought it was one guy (oh, the ravages of old-timers disease!). The sunlight was not reflecting as well off the top wire, which is there (you can barely see it in this pic). I assure you the wire is there, and this Bell was hovering just feet from immediate disaster. crazed indeed. |
