That's a Hughes 369FF. What's the passenger doing?

TN Valley Authority aircraft doing power line maintenance.

Awesome Shot Adam

My favorite of the week !!

Oh, it's working from home, not working from hover. My mistake

Wow!

Scheeez! I was a Huey CE in VN. I'd take that Job in a heartbeat! Looks like FUN!

WOW. Definitely not a good time to take that call from the wife.

Great shot but who took it and from what???

Just blowing on your coffee may be slow, but its safer...

Blowing on your coffee may be slower to cool it, but it's safer...

Heck of a way to recharge your cell phone !!

That's the new battery powered Hughes EV pulling over for a supercharge

Not hard to figure out why they opted for the most nimble heli. ever for this job. Awesome pic. Adam!

Now that looks like a dangerous job.

The passenger is bonding the aircraft and himself to the high voltage line. He does this so that the helicopter and himself are at the same potential. This way he can touch the conductors without getting electrocuted.

Great picture. When people complain about their electric bills, I wonder how many realize this routine maintenance of the power grid?
