if you want to read a good book about helicopter pilots in Vietnam, I suggest you pick up a copy of "ChickenHawk", it's about a Huey Slick pilot and his tour in Southeast Asia. Very good read.
+1 on the book, a good read.

When I was a kid I watched a helicopter crew changing spacers between the triple lines on a high tension power line that runs down the road from our place. There was a guy sitting on a seat that was mounted on one of the skids. The pilot eased up next to the lines and the guy put the new spacer in and removed the old.

I remember thinking that the pilot (actually both) had a large volume of nuts in two separate categories.


These guys have nerves of steel:
