When I spotted these two guys standing on the power line working on it I took a few pictures cuz I thought that was crazy enough! And then moments later another helicopter shows up traveling at probably 70 miles an hour with another piece of equipment and two more guys hanging 100 feet below it. That takes some next level crazy to do that job!

Holy smokes it must not have been windy. And I thought climbing up to the crows nest to grease the crown was a rush.

I always wanted to do some helicopter work instead of climbing and bucket truck work. There are probably a few members on here that have though.

The crazy thing was the helicopter was flying so fast they were damn near at a 45 degree angle from it. I looked back and saw that I didn't think much of it at first and then I realized there were two guys on and I was like oh holy s***!

I've always thought that if you need a job you should be willing to do whatever to have that job. I may have to rethink my beliefs about this one.
