Well...
It was still a very cool ride, that very few get an opportunity to take.
I’m a bit jealous, myself.

I did some ski lift tower installs years back in a Bell 214B.
Another cool opportunity taken.

They had the static pitch of the blades set +5 due to the loads and altitude/temperature issues.
All was well until the afternoon crew experienced a “burp” setting a tower down.
By the time the auto-relight kicked and they dropped the tower off the 70’ chocker. About 2-3 seconds. The main rotor speed had dropped beyond recovery. (Serious drag issue)

Lost both the crew members that day.

RIP guys



Now, I think they are doing it in pieces with an SA315 Lama or a Soloy converted Bell 47. (both are awesome ships to work with)
