Airmanship

Just watched a helicopter approach to land at a local heliport. Nice enough approach and good safe handling in the hover prior to touchdown, but then he turned his tail toward the open hangar.
Anybody got any opinions on weather this is the "safest" thing.
I make it a point to land with the aircraft facing any potential "visitors" who may approach the helicopter so I can see them coming. I do this regardless of the wind direction.
