Heli Line Clearance

[Marc-Antoine]

I first saw that at least ten years ago. It ain't anything new...

They even made a movie with that, a James Bond or the like. Bad guys chased him with a heli-saw (or two?). Amongst a lot of stuff (even a whole steel shed), they cut in half the poor super car.
I thought that the scenarists went crazy one more time again (beside the actual cutting capability of the thing), but a few days later I saw a vid with the real trimming machine. The crazy scenarists didn't invented it !

"American Electric Power (AEP) began contracting the use of the aerial saw in 1986. The saw was used initially on transmission lines in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, where the transmission footprint features various challenging terrain."
