Yes, all charted and lit up. Problem is the support cables extend much further from the masts than one can imagine. Some of these rascals are well over 1000 feet high. What is bothersome about this one is it involved a MH-47 which has some very neat nav gear on it. The accident report will make for some very interesting reading when it comes out.

The Blackhawk event in Texas was during bad weather with low visibility.
