Big Mike - Is that Pavel's lady friend? These are by far the best 427 photos I've ever seen!

No, and the boss was not there that day. Funny enough there was a large crowd of engineers, pilots, paramedics, etc all just out of shot waiting to help if needed... Czech girls... what can you say...

Updated Alcan Catenary Pics
Here are a few new ones...
The 350 landing there makes the job look easy with the Jetranger.

On the pad
After Work
Home again
The catenary at Powerline Pass, between Kemano and Kitimat, British Columbia is owned and maintained by Alcan aluminum of Canada. Myself and two other pilots (Dave Newman and Clint Sarver) were the only pilots trained to do so until I left the VFR side and pursued a less stressful life. Since that time, another pilot did a few lifts there using an Astar, not fun or very smart if you look at the size of the pad.
The Catenary system holds the powerline conductor above the valley floor below, replacing six towers previously wiped out by avalanches. The only way to inspect and service the insulators is to be dropped off by helicopter on the pad you see below and to the left of the machine.
When I get a bit of time, I will post some more pics of that job. Very busy at home and work these days.

Bertie, perhaps you would be kind enough to offer an explanation or story if possible.
Many thanks

This is my kinda IFR.
A beautiful night for a flight.
It looks like the newf painted over the old okie bird. I'm sure they made him but it's sad to cover up so much history especially with the boomerang.
