Helicopter removes aerial warning balls from a power line

08 March 2026, Achim, Langwedel: Before a power line is dismantled, warning spheres are removed from a power line from the air over highway 27, which is closed for this purpose. A helicopter holds position in the immediate vicinity of the spheres while two fitters sitting on a skid of the aircraft unscrew the orange-colored round bodies. The conspicuous markings are normally used to draw the attention of rescue helicopters approaching emergency scenes on the highway to the lines.
