Crab, Havick and Airresqu2 - exactly what I would say if I wasn't proficient at vertical reference operations.
How's your vertical reference skills at night time down in a valley full of wires with a 200' longline?

Can you provide examples of operators or organizations doing night time HEC longline ops?

All I'm trying to say is that hoisting offers way more operational advantages. HEC has always been the cheap way of doing things.
