Don't you just love watching people do such humdrum, boring jobs? No excitement. Same routine day in, day out? Glad I have an exciting job!! ;)

Actually, those guys must have f'ing huge balls!!! :D

The powerline maint part in "Straight Up" the IMAX movie was one of my favorite chopper video scenes. Its one thing to ride feet dangling out of a cabin, another thing entirely to be on a plank like that. Not to mention the steady stick wiggler up front!

The line between bravery and insanity is a fine one indeed.
