I worked at a factory in IL and we had to evacuate the building when the
helicopter came to install A/C units on top of the building.

I watched Sky-Cranes set the massive air conditioners atop industrial
complexes where I worked at one time.. At the old military base N of
Philadelphia I watched one of the big choppers lift off, straight up for
about what looked like 50 or 100 feet, then back up a couple hundred feet,
stop, hover, go back to the original point, and descend as if they were on
tracks. They repeated that maneuver so long, I got tired watching. That's
where I shot these:

http://www.rogerhalstead.com/me262.htm One of the originals used as a
model for the group that built 5 flying replicas from scratch, but with
modern engines inside the hand made nacelles.(I think that's the correct
term)
