While there is no link or image that appears on the OP, in post #3 Hell Man (who last posted in 2013) explains it was a photo not a video, so probably the same image as shared in post #9. The hill line in the background seems similar to what is behind Canberra airport in Australia, so consistent with another post suggesting it was probably at YSCB which is where the Australian Defence Force Helicopter School (ADFHS) had been based at one time.

The photo was also posted on Reddit years ago and attracted some comment including one that thought the image was flipped. But the shadows on the Squirrel and hill line suggest it is original and the photo predates AI generated images.

I am now also curious to hear more about the details. ADF Squirrel helicopters have done impressive displays at airshows as seen on YouTube but nothing I have seen was near inverted.

Addition: A22-005 later became VH-BUK but was apparently damaged in 2006 so no longer flying.
