It's nice and warm, and I've only seen 33 Kv lines here! The 212 is a real pussycat - and they pay me!
I found with the 206 that we could maintain 35 kts on the 33 lines, but once you start with the twisty-turny stuff on the 11s, and the poles go by every three seconds, you had to be very careful to keep the speed on. I know our Ops Inspector had no idea of the problems iuntil I took him on a trip. A good powerline pilot is like an advanced motorist - the hands and feet are in the right position before you get into the corner!
I still think some of those Welsh valleys are twin country - I remember pulling a trip once in the 206.
How's the new hangar?
