To build the Sunrise Powerlink in Southern California. Many helicopters were used to support construction. In this photo, the SDG&E Skycrane lowers part of the high voltage tower structure. A Little Bird provides guidance for the third pilot in the back of the Skycrane to ensure it places properly. Later, steel workers will climb the tower and secure it.
