Ok, it isn't Wichita, but they are linemen. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) maintains a training facility next to where I work. Sometimes they come out to play & sometimes I have my camera with me. These were taken on two different days. Helo work involved both days. Shots taken with the Tamron 18-250.
As usual, clicking the pics will get you a slightly larger version.
The first day they were playing in the basket that traverses the high tension wires. Dropping the basket off.
Basket's off the line.
Might be safer in the basket.
The wider (taller) view.
"And we were swingin'"...
That last shot was taken today as they practiced emergency rescues. Looked like fun. If only I were 20 years younger...
