In my day, STABO was an extraction system where a bird could pull up to three guys in harnesses dangling underneath, good for jungles and mountains where you couldn't land. Its a helluva ride.
These guys are doing something basically similar for hi-tension power pylon maintenance, lifting people or materials to the tops of the pylons. I can imagine its very precise flying..
The sight and sound of an old Huey in hover is a very very familiar and evocative one.
I took a couple pictures but the upload function is effing up again. Once it gets itself un-nutted I'll try again.
