My brother owns a 5 acre spread in rural Ohio through which a 345kV line runs. The power company asked him for permission to land a helicopter on his property so that line repairs could be effected. He happily agreed and immediately set about mowing an area in his grassy field for them to use. The helicoper was first to arrive.
