Interesting thought. I imagine a Mars helo would require quite the span/chord of rotor blades, not to mention a mast RPM into the 5 digits.

If Wesley Clark were President he wouldn't have sent the Mars Rover up there without an exit strategy.

Hazmat spill closes Mars primary ramp.
Mars Patrol officers say ramp closed due to a vehicle traveling too fast and spilling it's load of martian chitlins. Take an alternate surface route and avoid the
Mars Express, due to ubiquitous "Ladder in the road".
