Wilson loaded a helicopter, and all equipment and tooling, into a specially designed helicopter transport trailer, and traveled to Alaska to perform substantial conductor damage repair to the Terror Lake 138kV transmission line. The line is the only power feed into the town of Kodiak from Terror Lake hydro generation plant and delivers over 90 percent of the town's energy.
