Monument Valley a 'famous tourist attraction in Europe.' ??
Not sure what the good people of Arizona and Utah would have to say about that.
I haven't got a clue about the helicoper, but the location looks rather like Mont Blanc.

Well I guess as the file name being downloaded was MontB ...... it has to be Mont Blanc but I will pass on the Royal observer Corps test... it beat my glasses!
Try 'helicopter' [and then I am far from sure!]
Did you want the pilots name too?

Cran - Correct a Twin Squirrel from Mont Blanc Helicopters based at Annamasse near Geneva
Both pictures taken from an R22 BII back in 1999. One looking up the Glassier on Mont Blanc at 10,000ft and one looking down at 15,000ft.

Heliport,
Yes 15,000ft in an R22BII. I also know someone who claims to have flown one to !7,500ft and still climbing.
You can see from the photo we are almost at the top which i believe is 16,500ft.
We spent three days in the area with a very experienced ex mil mountain flyer. Part of his military training included a full month camped out in the mountains with the austrian army studying wind patterns etc.
