R-22 on a pinnacle

I recently got back from the Robinson Safety Course in Torrance, California. They showed us an interesting picture of a R-22 on a really tall, narrow pinnacle rock formation. Does anyone know where I can find this pic? I think it was taken at a state park. Thanks for the help!

Have you tried asking Robinson themselves?

R-22 on a pinnacle?

I thought you said it was a safety course? The image must of been digitally imposed on the picture?

Very nice but the one i saw has the whole pillar in the shot. The R22 on the top looks like a speck compared to the size of the formation.

R22

So, during the factory safety course did they give you any hints about how to land a robbie with one blade split into two pieces. Was any mention made of blade delaminations?
