That is so cool, Chip! Thank you!

One minor quibble: The fellow says his work is "as safe as crossing the street." I would agree, so long as the hypothetical street was filled with helicopters.

I saw that whole show on TV... pretty cool stuff.

Very cool indeed. That one did the rounds at work a few weeks back.

We have aircraft @ work, apparently the guys from the aviation group have a the longer documentary that clip comes from. I'll have to borrow/watch it some time.

I've heard one of the pilots discuss how a large part of their job is simply trying to spot and avoid cables of various sorts and sizes strung all over the place.

John's just this guy, you know.

The film clip seemed very artistic too, and rather dreamlike. I like the way the shots were framed, set up and edited.
