These people are doing everybody a favor. It is normal helicopter line patrol done routinely to keep the electric grid more reliable. My hats off to them. It is what I do for a living!!
For serious? In a helicopter? In England that would be considered a frivolous use of an air vehicle. I guess In America things are more spread out though huh. Guess they need it.
Yup..they do this all the time. Many of the lines are spread out in almost unaccessible areas and "flying the lines" is the most efficient and cost effective way of checking things out.
They do similar things with oil pipelines in the oilfields. Flying along the pipeline looking for leaks, but usually they use a plane for this rather than a helicopter.
thats kind've what i figured.. i say that right at the end of the video. but his blade clipped some tree tops toward the beginning. i just thought it was a little insane
he was trimming hedges maybe
