Highways have Wires

Next time you're on a drive look up to see the cunning aircraft traps strewn about by the electricity folks.

Fields don't have as many wires, but driveways usually have a pole line alongside.

I have dropped into several fields and the majority of the time have to plan my approach around the power lines.

Oh yes, never fly through a gap in a tree line. There's a good chance that a wire is there
