Has anyone been involved in lifting/assisting wind turbines into position? Would be great to see some photos and experiences?

Yeah, that would be interesting to see... :)

Here are some data on one of the more common types being raised these days;
Weights (approximately):
Rotor 100,000 kg
Nacelle 125,000 kg
