[@ommanomnom]

Exceptionally skilled pilot. Such a tight space to fly so accurately and remaining stable with such a large machine with a massive load

[@PavelMy]

Are you talking about the one from which the video was taken?

[@Pixelsplasher]

Seriously, my hats off to the drone pilot as well!

[@bradswarren]

Not a drone. Filmed from a TV station helicopter with gyro stabilized lens

[@choudhuryvlogs9307]

👍👍

[@saint_play]

Sounds like a porno title

[@ishgumi44]

Absolutely breathtaking. Balls of steel. Excellent videography, too!

[@inderdeepsingh8646]

The work of the artisans who attached the antenna to the tower cannot be ignored.

[@MaximPustovit]

100%!!!

[@lovemetender1965]

Com certeza, até porque um mínimo erro dos pilotos poderia levar os operários na torre à morte!

[@zabbeestruckchannel1814]

I was really impressed by the pilot and operators's skill and courage

[@mag7856utg]

The cutest looking helicopter I have ever seen. The entire team is brave and super. I never saw anything like this before. May the Lord keep you all safe and strong

[@Rocketman88002]

WOW!!! Flying in between those guy wires that are only 120° apart from each other takes precise control of the sky crane. Improper use of the drone! It should be still. That background spinning distracts the viewer.

[@cameron_krause]

I’m pretty sure it’s a helicopter filming

[@TheBoatPirate]

either way(drone or chopper), that spinning is bogus. totally nauseating. i started thinking it was a green screen and done on purpose. 😂

[@bradswarren]

Not a drone, video was taken from another small helicopter orbiting the area😊

[@smallink6919]

No.1 video of the world .. deserves Billions of views

[@gamechanger8473]

Respect to the entire team efforts. Salute from Indian🇮🇳

[@mike.obl.s.b.7200]

Очень впечатляет мысль о том, что этот вертолет был впервые зарегистрирован в 1968 году и до сих пор имеет действующий сертификат летной годности. Спасибо за загрузку видео.

[@PavelMy]

Are you talking about the one from which the video was taken?

[@jacobkudrowich]

​​@@PavelMy178AC it was built in 1971

[@khalidnawaz6599]

Wonderful and amazing work by the pilot and the guys.Thumb up for him.

[@bubbagreensmith7174]

Built and maintained these for Erickson Air-Crane for years,quite the aircraft!

One of the greatest helicopters in human history. ✌🏻🚁

[@russellking9762]

yep...even better than the helicopters than the Romans had

[@summers9218]

The drone guy has made the scenario more suspense than ever. Great camera work.

Yemen 💐💐💐💐

[@mrhimansu5878]

of course

[@SuperRede4u]

Apparently (according to the original poster) this footage was taken from a local news chopper with a gyro stabilized camera on board. If you listen carefully you can hear the drone of the turbine engine in the background. FWIW.

I was a construction electrician. In 30 years I’ve seen ironworkers do some crazy shit but nothing like that. That’s pretty amazing. 👍

[@darinclark1853]

Incredible footage of an incredible machine.

[@umami0247]

Saw one of these skycranes in 1980 and it was lifting huge air conditioning system up on top of a 30-40 story building. Very impressive though these did have some maintenance issues still a great concept.

[@coffeeseven]

I'm impressed. That takes nerves of steel. What a crew.

[@rodtimmer2318]

Without a doubt one of the best vid. I have seen, good job.

[@mikedye480]

Nice work, Brad. You may not remember, but you and I worked together at Horizon Helicopters back in the 90's. I just found your channel and thought you should know that I remember you with great respect. Looks like Erickson has treated you well, my friend. Regards. Mike Dye

[@Synfulz]

I see these guys flying all the time. They are headquartered right down the road from me.

[@Viki-zo1bc]

That precision was awesome. Like threading a needle.

[@henrytheeightheist8091]

Excellent! 😊Thumbs up to the guys bolting it into place as well 😎

[@bradswarren]

It’s really ALL about the guys in the tower:)

[@Honeybee897]

And they took a short period of time.

WHAT A PERFORMANCE OF SKILL, ACURACI AND COORDINATION BETWEEN THE PILOT AND THE MEN ON THE TOWER. WELL DONE.👍🥇👍

[@James-blond007]

Wow that’s some amazing flying there boy!!

[@chtyan]

My knees are weak watching this. Takes special people to do this kinda job. With Pay!!!!

[@MrMadBaggins]

These pilots and crew are hands down the ballsiest people on the planet! And I have the privilege to work right down the street from their headquarters.

[@Old.Man.Of.The.Mountain]

Fascinating look into infrastructure design, building and maintenance 👌Those guys on the top of that tower.. dangerous work for everyone involved but a professional and well-trained crew!

[@averybauman6307]

Great Camera work!. You can see the workers Drinking there Coffee. Thats a Close up for the Movies. Nice Job Men.

[@rfengr00]

Flying down between high voltage lines and guy wires. Crazy skill!

[@georgecalder5175]

I worked for (Weldwood of Canada) a Logging company on the Westcoast of British Columbia, Canada (Toba Inlet) in the late 80s laying out Heli blocks that were logged by an Air-Crane, lifting massive fir, cedar, spruce, hemlock, balsam logs off the steep side hills and water dropping the logs into the water of the inlet, had some pretty cool pictures of the Erickson Air-Crane in action

[@SteveSnowman]

Very Cool. I used to fish up there. I would watch those Heli loggers in action, I still get goose-bumps thinking about that. - N Idaho -

[@paddik3717]

Poetry in motion; fantastically skillful & brave pilot & tower crew. Just wish the videographer had stayed zoomed in for the trapeze release. Was dying to see how that was done.

[@bradswarren]

A release can be seen in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2HKd2aLhKl9rM0

[@engineering_units]

heartstoping to see driver skills, how he moved slowly slowly

[@lobosfer10]

Maravilloso trabajo profesional. Tengo una duda y no entiendo la causa de por qué el paisaje detrás del video giraba y los operarios en la torre siempre estaban tomados desde el mismo ángulo ¿?

[@nickmalone3143]

Amazing that those small engines have that much lift capacity

[@robertpalmer3166]

The engines have zero lift capacity. The rotors do the lifting.

[@nickmalone3143]

@@robertpalmer3166 ...i suppose they have zeto rotation too ...🤔

[@funagency4355]

Salute for your hard work 🙂

[@Trevellingabout]

handled very smoothly

[@wc8246]

Unrelated to the engineering, but the way the tower and the helicopter look like they're spinning/in motion past 6:20 is the same effect you see in lots of 'ufo' videos, and can give the illusion of huge speed and instant changes in direction when the object itself might be moving much slower, or even not moving at all.

Watched a rescue helicopter, ironically, run right into power lines and drop their humans yesterday. It is MIND blowing to me that an experienced helicopter pilot could hit power lines. EVER. Barring any obvious anomalies.
