I hope they both get paid a serious lot of money! <em>I don't know about them, but I would have to be paid a whole lot to do either job.</em> <em>Cheers--</em> <em>MRE </em> I was thinking ‘I don’t want to be that pilot, either!’ as I watched.

I don’t know about them, but I would have to be paid a whole lot to do either job.

The technician is at least always clipped on to something. Holding that chopper steady like that takes immense skill. One enexpected gust of wind that pushes those rotors into the power line, and they are <strong>both</strong> toast. <em>Hi Brad--</em> <em>I agree.  The guy did a great job of holding it steady.  In fact, as I discovered later, that video came from a larger film about helicopters.</em> <em>Cheers--</em> <em>MRE </em> While doing the high-wire act is certainly nothing to sneer at, I’m more impressed with the pilot.

Hi Brad–

I agree.  The guy did a great job of holding it steady.  In fact, as I discovered later, that video came from a larger film about helicopters.

Hi Neil–

If you click on the YouTube I posted, then click again when the message comes up telling you that the owner won’t allow embedding, it should take you to the YouTube location straight away.

I replaced the original YouTube with one that allows embedding.
