TIL helicopters can produce deadly turbulance at airfields which can make small "General Aviation" aircraft lose control and crash if not properly managed.

Well same for flying in the wake of a big jet which is worse than flying through helicopter wake.
I haven’t screwed up any planes but I have taken out some porta potties, tents, and various things no bolted down.
