Terry,

I have seen these people walking the quad lines before.  This video is 
of duals.  Each strand is supposed to be good for 1000 amps so a dual is 
2000 amps, a quad for 4000 amps and there are six strands good for 6000 
amps.  I am not quite sure what they are looking for up there but I 
guess the power companies really want someone to inspect those lines up 
close.  Can they adjust something they don't like?  Much like a chain, 
the line is only as good as the weakest link.

If you want a full week of intense acrobatics and other aircraft fun and 
toys, the last week in July at the Experimental Aircraft Association at 
Oshkosh is unmatched.  I went one year with my father and it was great.
