Bet You Don't Have A Saw Like This!

Looks like a pretty low stress job.

"George, what did you do today?" George: "Oh just flew the copter along some high tension/high powered wires and trimmed the trees."

Guessing an oops wouldn't hurt for too long. :)
 
One of those was in a James Bond movie. I thought it was just a movie stunt thing. Then several years ago I saw one clearing a right of way near my farm. Ohmigosh! What a scary thing that is.
 
Rogers got a good point about picking up the debris. I guess crews keep the undergrowth clear beneath the power lines do that from time to time. If not i can see it being good tinder for a fire when it collects after frequent cuts.

Still an incredible pilot to fly something like that and concentrate doing it for so long.
 
I saw one in a Pecan orchard, mounted on a tractor. From memory, I would have said 8 or more 30 inch circular saw blades on a vertical shaft - the shaft being the height of the pecan trees.
