" It's common practice to use helos in this way. It's done all over the country. The helicopters are use to save money and be more efficient than sending people into the back country. The helos are normally fully instrumented to assess operating anomalies before they become your problem, power outages. It's easy to see how the helo could cover alot more line and more accurately. No, I don't work for the power company and yes I am a helo pilot. "

" That's a good one. About the truth. I have Corn Belt where I live, but my son has AmerenIP and his bills have been outrageous. He went from $74 a month to almost $300 a month now. And they say they are hurting. Who are they kidding? And I don't buy that they needed to increase everyone's bills that much to keep on functioning. Get real. "
