I had the door open and the hinge pins out -- I'd had the door off earlier in the day for a photo flight and hadn't put the pins back in yet. The JetRanger pilot had a whole ramp to land on, but he landed in the t-spot right next to where I was parked. Door got scratched, of course. Couldn't blame him, though. I should have had the door closed. Learned my lesson the hard way that day. I once had a door blown off my helicopter when a JetRanger landed beside me.
