Browsing YouTube as you do. I came across a video of a specially modified Helicopter landing on the summit of Everest. Looks like there was also a thread on here but was 2005 (is 2021 too early to highlight this again without the inevitable.... do a search !!

think it's an amazing achievement to actually land (and stay for 3 mins). Probably not many days when it's possible due to wind.

I believe they've built a special turntable up there for just this purpose

I don't remember it being well publicised at the time. Or maybe I was just busy climbing !
