When I was in school they showed a video of some of the really high-voltage ones, where they would need to helicopter into place, and part of the process was to get the helicopter to the same voltage potential as the line. So these things have about 5-10 ft of arc on the approach... a level of fortitude beyond what I'd be willing to, even with the danger pay.
