That's been on here several times. It never ceases to amaze me, though. Those guys don't have BRASS balls, they have DIAMOND balls!

Brass?!
Doesn’t that conduct electricity?!

I’d want to think mine were rubber if I had that job.

I’ve seen two aircraft hit those things in my time. The power lines won, both times.
I tend to do everything possible to stay quite clear of them.

Hats off to those who will hover so close and keep them operating properly though.
