Helicopter crop dusting in Kentucky

I was very impressed by this, he was getting good coverage right to the end of the row and then minimal overrun. This video was taken early July 2013, and he was spraying fungicide on corn, using a Bell 206b2.

Boy, that telephone/electrical wire gives me the heebie jeebies...(the one you can see between the tanker and the field, on the poles, in the early outside of the chopper shots)

Baristansays...

Twice I've seen crop dusters come close enough to move wires. Missed seeing one snag a wire by a few minutes. Watched him fly for a bit and was heading home. Even 1/2 mile away I could hear the crash. Did a belly landing in the field, but luckily he was fine.
Still cringe whenever I see a plane fly anywhere near a power line.
