Which Jack?

[HAL Pilot]

I feel like you're pulling my leg...

Why would you doubt him? Here's a civilian helo doing something similar.

The version that is California compliant only has 1 saw blade. Does anyone real need high capacity airborne saws?

This is like when I told my ex-wife those big orange balls in the power lines were full of helium and helped hold them up.....

So, when all these small wars end will they send a NAVADMIN announcing...”Jack Off!l”

That picture was probably taken either half-way or towards the end of deployment, so I doubt you could see anything that might once have been painted on anything Shoe owned. See also: deck markings.

Still doesn't explain why a "NO STEP" is upside down on the helo.

I work for a utility and we have our own forestry service division, but never have I seen this. I know we contract the high-voltage transmission line inspections to a company that uses a helicopter, Like this

I have seen them sit on a platform on the helo to perform work, but never actually transfer to the line.

One of our vertrep guys had this as his previous job. Said it was a lot of fun until 1 of the circular blades departed the assembly...

Here is another video with a better picture of the sawing assembly.

Then again, here is another one in "The World is Not Enough" Not the greatest Bond movie, but it did star Sophie Marceau.
