Markus Buttinger has kindly contributed this wonderful (and rare) shot of an FH1100 in its natural habitat (North America) but he doesn't remember the exact location at which he took this image. Evidently it was a 'proper' heliport, somewhere near the Hoover Dam, 1979.

Some minutes after this shot was taken Markus was treated to a flight in this bird over the Hoover Dam. Sadly that remains his only ever excursion in a blitterblat! (We'll have to change that Markus).

Anyone with any clues on the location please do chip in!
