I found these videos on the VTOL Helicopter blog. I might add this is a very good site for all things concerning helicopters such as, All Helicopter News; Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) Operations; Incidents and Accidents; and the Videos Worth Watching Series. Also included are insights, and viewer comments involving choppers. There’s a lot of good stuff here - Check It Out!
The videos below show the versatility of the helicopter, it's uses are endless. What a great invention!
A feature on power line work using N138TX, a 1979 MD500D operated by Air2. This particular video is near and dear to my heart. I was a high voltage power lineman in the Air Force for 15 years. Back in 1982 I got out of the Air Force for about 8 months, and for a few months I worked outside of Dallas, Texas working on high voltage transmission lines like the ones you see here in this video. What they are installing are wind dampeners - what we lineman affectionately called “dog bones".
