To me it's a scary job to be one of the riggers, and I thought the skill of the pilots was awesome.

I have pics on this site of N312KA & N675TH. Nice to see them in action in this video.

Just saw this and am darn grateful to be living in San Diego, after 20 years in Paris (France not Texas or Kentucky) where nuclear power was and still is the big thing!

Watching the pilots and linemen reminded me of a ballet. Every move coordinated and with.meaning. No wasted energy or tie. Beautiful to watch.
