Status: offline 		Nope, but there was a show a while back I think on Discovery that showed them doing it....INSANE if you as me. There ain't no way Id fly a heli near those lines. Then some guy even crazier than the pilot steps out on the skids, grounds the heli to the line with a pole and then hops off the heli onto the powerlines like a wacked out bird, and starts doing repairs.

Status: offline 		the Hughes 500 is an awesome bird. Was talking with a gent the other day who flew little bird in Nam as a scout. Always had an interest so I bought the book "Low Level Hell" by Hugh Miller and became facinated with this aircraft.
