High Wire Helicopter Flyer YouTube
I hope you enjoy this YouTube of a crew working on high tension power lines near the Petroglyph National Monument in NW Albuquerque.
This took place near our home so when I saw the action I grabbed the camera and enjoyed the skill and precision these guys must live by daily. No mistakes allowed in their line of work. I bet the pay is phenomenal and the life insurance just as much so. The guys on the tower didn't slow their pace at all, it was non stop from the time they stepped out off the helicopter and onto those crossbars.
I quickly decided I will keep my day job as an Albuquerque area REALTOR®. I like to have some excitement in my life but this would be just a little much. If you are looking to purchase or sell a home in the Albuquerque or Rio Rancho NM area I promise not to take any unnecessary risk with your real estate transaction.

Good morning John,
It is one sound I still pick up without my hearing aids! The pilot is very good.
Make yourself a great day.
Hi John. That is so crazy. They must get huge dollars.
Yowza! I've been in a helicopter many times, but never exited one in that fashion. Kudos to these guys.....not sure I'd want their jobs.
Yikes... and I thought we had a stressful job! Have a terrific Friday John...
Good morning John, how exciting and scary to watch them perform. I've seen them on one of my learning channels. It takes a special talent to do what they do, especially the pilot.
Good morning John,
Wow..these guys have to know what they are doing and be very skilled! One false move and I wouldn't want to think what could happen!
Good morning John. Great video. You couldn't pay me enough for this period.
Good morning, John.... I guess someone needs to do it.... very risky business....
John- you weren't kidding! A big wow! I've never been in a helicopter but Larry used to fly F-4's and he'd rather be in that than a helicopter! Too scary for him! Yes, I like having both feet on the ground
John/Debbie, this would be VERY scary as one foul move and that helicopter is toast!
John, this is very amazing and I am not sure how these guys keep their cool!
Now there's a challenging job! One wind gust that would shift those helicoptor blades could spell disaster! I wonder how much those guys make an hour???
I also want to mention that I'm impressed by your video, John! It isn't everyday, you get a video opportunity like that one!
Wow John and Debbie, I agree, please keep selling real estate, I would not wnat anything to happen to you two till I meet you!
Thanks, John, for sharing the video. That is the pilot I want if I fly in a helicopter.
John, that is too scary for me to think about doing. Even more scary than being a Realtor. These guys have guts and are dedicated to helping the people. Thanks for sharing.
Good Morning Active Rain,
For an Albuquerque, New Mexico Real Estate Broker, contact John McCormack at (505) 980-4576.
Hi John, Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is not something you see everyday. Costly work all around. And not for everyone for sure! Very specialized work!
Makes me think of people building skyscrapers...not for everyone.
Gloria
Howdy John-I would love to ride hanging off of a helicopter rail but not to climb onto high tension poles!
Woo hoo - cool video and way to seize the moment! I don't think I'll quit my day job either...wow, that would require nerves of steel.
John, I love a rush but, this would be too much. I can only imagine what the pay is...setting myself a reminder to Google it later out of sheer curiosity.
John, talk about living on the edge! Amazing vid.
Wow that is one scary job. No room for error that's for sure.
John,
We are all keeping our day jobs, no doubt about that. Wishing you and Debbie a great weekend. A
Now that is one job that I would never be able to do, especially with my fear of heights, no way I am getting up there, haha.
I can't imagine having a job like this. I bet they are happy to have their feet back on the ground when they are finished.
John,
Excellent video by you by you folks and these workers have no fear and lots of guts to do what they do! As a side note I had to go to YouTube to play the video as it would not play on just AR?
John McCormack ~ I'll keep my day job too! I wonder if it is hard to get life insurance, that's an insane job
Hi John, I have flown in Helicopters, but I would never try working on those power lines like these guys are doing for a living. Yes, Like you, I would prefer to keep my day job working on the ground in real estate.
That is cool John. A crew did that here just a while back...so cool to watch!
Hi John - Great video! I'll be sticking with my day job too. It's amazing how routine they make that look, when in fact, it's completely scary to even watch.
John: Watching those guys sure makes me appreciate my day gig! My fear of flying and heights all in one...UGH!
John,
Now I know another job I cannot do, I am afraid of heights this would not work for me at all! I hope you guys have a great weekend!
That is just crazy, it must pay well though. It is a great jpb for thrill seekers. Have a good night
You got to be kidding me! This is simply crazy! Who does this? Well I guess they do but I bet they cant get life insurance doing this for a living
Good evening all....
We're glad you dropped by and checked out our High Wire Helicopter Flyer YouTube. This was just too cool and exciting not to video and share. I actually found myself holding my breath while shooting it a couple of times as the winds came up but chopper pilot kept his cool and steady hand.
If you enjoyed I hope you share this cool YouTube with your family and friends.
I dont know how much he gets paid, but it is not enough for me, I will keep my present job too.
Good morning John. And this is why these guys make the big bucks! I think I will keep my present job as well.
It's great that you captured these highly specialized electricians and skilled pilot conducting this hazardous maintenance so we can turn on our lights and use our computers. Thank you for sharing.
WOW I am with you John, don't want to give up my job for this job. Scary, even though the pilots are skilled.
John, not a job I could volunteer for or do! Nervous just watching the video! Enjoy your day!
Ok. I hereby declare that that is absolutely nuts. Certifiable. Count me out.
Not going to be my choice of professions ever!! I'd rather be up in a hot air balloon John McCormack
I think I would keep my day job as well. WOW!
John: Great shot and until you've seen this type of work taking place real time, you can't fathom just how risky it is. These guys are actually making contact with live wires! Amazing! They wear specially-designed metal mesh suits that are grounded with static wires, so the current doesn't affect them.
I would LOVE to do that!
Oh wait, I thought I was still on the "opposite" post written by Richie Alan Naggar Author PEARLS SERIES of books
Sharon Tara I am cracking up....thank you
John, I thought real estate could be stressful, but I think I'll keep my Broker's License.
Just watching that makes my stomach turn. No way could I ever do that.
I agree. It's a good decision to keep our day jobs. I get dizzy just looking at the photo of them on the helicopter.
Great video! I wonder how they practice for the transition on and off? The first time must be interesting!! Not a job I would want to do.
You always find the best phhotos and videos too, just like you did here!
Talk about nerves of steel. A slight breeze could spell complete disaster! Thank you for sharing this death deifying career choice with us....
QMan~Debb Janes would be "quietly proud"! You did a marvelous job with this video, John. We really got to see the expansiveness and height when you panned over to the fellows on the ground on the rocks and then slowly panned up the height of the pole these fellows were working on. I'm assuming there wasn't a big wind, with how accurate this helicopter pilot had to be in missing the wires.
Dangerous to say the least!
Thanks to Kathy Streib for including this one!
Hello John. I came by way of Debb and your pumpkin patch video. Great effect with the video as you moved from what seemed like a live patchwork of framed videos and pics. No wonder they picked that video up to use. Fantastic. Mark
John and Debbie....I think getting on the roof to shovel snow is scary sometimes, this puts me to shame. I would have had my heart in my throat the whole time I was filming this...wow!
