I remember reading about the guy who was to shoot the top of the Alps and
had  a Helicopter drop him off on a peak and was to then act as his "flag"
to block the sun.  BUT the wind picked up before the Helio could return and
he was forced to spend the night atop the peak with just the minimum of
clothing and no tent etc.  he was then picked up the next morning and was ok
but was a serious ordeal...

Say, I think I remember an article on that, or was it in the Time?life photo
series? But I thought it was three cameras. True?
