    I've seen that, it's a pretty cool job assuming you don't have wind coming from the wrong direction. Either there's not a lot of that work around here or the guys that do that work don't like to share it.

    For anyone that hasn't seen -

    :eek: Woah that’s crazy.

    I work for a power utility and they were installing stuff on the towers. So they’d fly up to the tower, ground to it then the lineman would jump onto it to work. Then the helicopter would fly back and pickup another lineman and leap frog them from tower to tower.

    I did not see them working directly on the high voltage wires from the helicopter. That is insane.

    Sweet gig you got.

    I'm a mechanic at an independent shop in Annapolis, MD. I specialize in European cars and truck but as it goes in this business, work on pretty much anything.

    I do the same thing at home as a hobby.

    Thank you for doing what you do.

    A lot of my coworkers specialize in working with Special Ed kids, I've heard the stories and it requires an amazing person to do that on a daily basis.

    I work at a bnsf facility and they recently came thru and changed some ties. I watched them for several hours instead of doing my job. It looked cool as hell.
