WKBD New Antenna up

JP Jones and D7 Brian Bicknese setting the new WKBD Repack antenna atop the 1000' tower in Southfield, MI. Thanks ERI and Construction Helicopters Inc. Excellent job flying by our favorite Austrian pilot Daniel!

[@dansteel9873]

I did this for 29 years and now I'm old and broken and can't anymore. Watching this makes me both proud that I was special, and sad that for me it's over. I'm broken because of a head on car wreck coming home from work. How ironic that a career ending accident would happen on the ground and off the jobsite. My salute to the next generation of tower workers. A breed apart.

[@BluesyBor]

Salute to you, kind sir! Being a tower worker myself I always wonder how we're constantly training to be better, more efficient and safer up there, while driving on the road is actually less predictable and I think more risky than this job - mostly because on the tower there's smaller group of random people able to screw something up and kill me in the process than there is on the road.

The skills and deft touch required to translate the instructions from the guys into placing that antenna right where it's needed. Amazing, no wonder he's their favourite pilot. Whether it be the heavy lifters like this or powerline repair, logging, rescue, air ambulance / medivac or dropping troops into a hot l/zone, I don't think these heli pilots (and crew) get the recognition they deserve for their skill.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

@@kymtaylor5433 I've spent a lot of years in the Four Peaks wilderness area east of Phoenix. Back in the 80's McDonnell Douglas would flight test Apache gunships out there. There was this one particular chopper that would do hover tests up against the side of side of a hill about a mile away. Every afternoon when the wind kicked up. It would hang there for an hour and more. In exactly the same spot. So one morning I hiked over there with my 10.X 50's and my Nikon F with a long lens. I positioned myself a couple hundred above. Maybe 300 feet distant. Right on schedule he shows up. Did three or four rolls of film. What amazed me is that the pilot was reading a magazine the entire time. Totally hands off. The breeze was gusting coming up off the desert floor. Kicking up pretty good. The Apache was like a rock. This was over 30 years ago. Before Windows 95. The PC was still 386. No pictures. No video. Now we're looking at AI-assisted flight controls. In the near future the flight crew of a large commercial airliner will be a pilot and a Doberman Pinscher. The pilot will monitor the instruments and the dog will bite him if he touches anything.
