A video from the Flying M Air YouTube channel.
The title and narration pretty much says it all. We were driving across the desert and spotted some helicopter activity near some power lines. We found a road that took us right to the action. (BTW, This is the kind of thing you can see when you shut off the TV/video game/Internet and get out a little.)
I found this work fascinating and I think that if I were alone I would have captured hours of footage. But I think this taste from two angles is more than enough.
Anyone know what those line guys make? I sure hope it’s a lot!
I do know the name of the company performing this work, but have decided not to release it. Why? Well although I’m sure they were following all safety precautions and their pilots were properly trained for the work — you don’t get a job like this by being a fly-by-night operator — there’s always ONE viewer who finds something to complain about and I’m not going to help them cause trouble for these folks. Can’t you just sit back, watch, and be amazed at the things we can do?
Comments? Leave them below. I hope you enjoyed this; I’ll try to release other new content soon.
