I've flown over this thing several times over the years, getting right close and looking down into it, pretty freaky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_Smelter_Stack I flew by a tower monkey the other day who was up in a cell tower, that's also a little disorienting for some reason for me.

Do you do a lot of square downspout? I never installed any, but had seen it at large elevators.
You must not live close to where the Canadian Geese have a flyway. Here in the midwest they are flying all hours of the night. The familiar honking as they are flying along, covering many miles a day if the weather has changed fast.

I have bounced worse than that in the daylight. Have not flown in 35 years or so now. I miss it.
Scheduled to lift two HVAC units here in an hour or so. Job is 3 miles away. I just went by to scope it out beforehand. It's the local High School. the set up area is roped off and ready for me. Taking the Grove 60T. The 50' radius went to 250'. My 190 won't do that. I did happen to find a place to set up that the radius should be 75-100'. It's not over 4-5' out of level. This should be fun.
We're changing out two elevators at a ethanol plant this week. huge elevators. 25,000 BPH 200' Discharge height. We're running our 190 and the 165. One crew on each of the legs. We started last Thursday with demo. Demo was done by Saturday afternoon. Started stacking the new ones Sunday morning. Set the head sections Monday afternoon. Today, Tuesday, setting the top drums, drives and motors. Planned to pull the belts in tomorrow but weather will be a factor. We should be operational by this weekend.
The 60 ton is just now repaired and operational. Setting HVAC units with it directly.
The 65 T is headed to a job.
Got another 65 ordered. Expect it to be delivered May/June.
100T has a windshield busted out. Don't ask.
Boom truck is broke.
That will be 7 cranes. We have only 4 operators.

The jib on the left looks like a luffer coming out of the structure on the platform, LOL!
