An LX question for the hive mind: How would you imply the landing of a helicopter? It's for Scene 1 of Made In Dagenham.... the helicopter notionally lands off stage.

@pythag_mjw Day or night? Gobo rotating? Maybe add a slow pulsing red to simulate the beacon (they tend to cast light a fair distance!) A wind machine and sound are going to be doing the bulk of the work selling that illusion though I think?
@pythag_mjw Bit late now …. We did a show at SH Brum and use helicopter sounds via PA. Also had a police helicopter pilot backstage with a mike. He thumped his chest when pretending to radio compère giving a helicopter comms sound You could do that and have pilot state he is down…
