How close can you get to a helicopter? (Keep watching)

Movie footage from Tim Mosedale at Ama Dablam Base Camp of a Japanese climber being evacuated by helicopter. I managed to get in to a small dip close to the landing spot and ended up about as close as you can get to an incoming helicopter. If you lean close enough to the screen you might even feel the rotor wash.

He should have rotated the stack bearings and wipe the blades and maybe give it a little blast with the pussy pumper while he was there!
