If you want to receive a good lesson about helicopter rotor wash ask your local military helicopter unit to put on a demostration where they use smoke to show how far out rotor wash looks like and the distance that it travels from the helicopter. The larger the helicopter the more dramatic the demostration is.

We use to do this at least several times a year for the local college so that they would learn to respect the rotor wash from helicopters.
