[@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

[@inderdeepsingh8646]

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

[@MaximPustovit]

100%!!!

[@reinaldo1965]

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

[@ishgumi44]

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

[@zabbeestruckchannel1814]

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

[@vasileburoiu9339]

Respect și admirație pentru asemenea oameni și asemenea performanta! Felicitări!

[@bubbagreensmith7174]

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

[@rudycarv2197]

Astonishing and Hats off for the whole team so well synchronised

[@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

[@Viki-zo1bc]

That precision was awesome. Like threading a needle.

[@gamechanger8473]

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

[@smallink6919]

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

[@khalidnawaz6599]

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

[@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😊

[@RedLP5000S]

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

[@russellking9762]

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

[@darinclark1853]

Incredible footage of an incredible machine.

amazing views captured guys ,Thanks for shareing

[@MikeTorbay]

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

[@summers9218]

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

[@user-hb7tr6oj3n]

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.

.....BIG COMPLIMENTS !!!!! to ALL of this grait crew !!! kind regards from a former AS332-Pilot out of Switzerland !!

[@partylee007]

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

[@esheeshe3839]

beautifully executed task I applaud the crew

[@kenmclaughlin5211]

That Aircrane flew a lot of logs back some years ago. Quite a machine !

[@bradswarren]

I mighta been doing that then as well!

[@norms3913]

The u.s. army used that aircraft a lot when they had them in service

[@alexanderan103]

Такой качественной сьемки на лету я ещё не видел, классно, супер !!!!

[@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.

[@rahmatikhsan]

It takes calm and extraordinary pilot skills👏

[@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 -

[@rfengr00]

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

[@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.

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

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

[@Rod3E900]

That is one incredible machine !!!

Amazing that those small engines have that much lift capacity

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

[@bobbysilver272]

Looks like something out of The Thunderbirds.

[@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 ¿?

[@choudhuryvlogs9307]

Excellent job👍👍👍

[@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

The lower hooks are electrically remote released from the cockpit

[@bobbyray9825]

Pure balls with guy wires that close.

[@mahmoodahmadi7043]

Spezielle Pilot, bravo.und höchste Zusammenarbeit, klasse.

[@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.

[@olmerpineda3479]

De todo esto El más abilidoso es el piloto ese men es un crack wow

[@bass305-HCCA]

Awesome job gentlemen 👍💯

[@gureswar4270]

Awesome technology!

[@johndallessandro7640]

I like the waiver and speech the Erickson guys give to the Ironworkers. " If anything goes wrong with the machine we will drop the load, period. " 😳 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😀👍

[@damkayaker]

Amazing bravery and skill.

[@mikem5043]

Flying with that many wires and towers around, reminds me of the saying of 'being as nervous a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!'

The zoom shift at 7:18 is crazy

Müthiş!. Tebrikler. Acaba!. Kaldırdığı cisim kaç ton ?? Yerine yerleştirmekte büyük marifet.

[@gotit547]

Great drone and chopper pilot work. Two questions 1. Is it allowed to use that area with such load or is it everyone evacuated from that area? 2. Is drone allowed to operate in such close vicinity of the chopper?

[@bradswarren]

It’s a secure area, was not filmed with a drone, but rather a TV News helicopter with a great gyro stabilized lens

[@jhonsiders6077]

That news chopper orbiting around the tower about made me dizzy with the close up !
