Does anyone know where THAT airfield is?

The banner for the v2.1 patch release looks like this...

That is one lovely lookin' airfield... but where is it??!!

Also, I love the helicopter? Is that default static/AI?
 
The registration on the chopper is a dead giveaway. And the control tower in the background is also a great help.

Looks like it is the GA part of the ORBX Brisbane (YBBN) airport.
 
Sydney has a completely different control tower. Brisbane has a similar tower to the one in the screenshot.

Have to disagree with you there, the one in the screenshot looks a dead ringer for the one at Sydney I linked to, the external spiral part and the six cylindrical windows are pretty distinctive. The only images I can find for Brisbane's tower look like a much cleaner exterior.
 
It is definitely Sydney. This is Brisbane's tower, with the Brisbane CBD in the background:

...and this is Sydney (not sure if it is the main tower, or an old one?), with the Botany Bay docks behind it:

In fact I'll bet a lot of money this is the spot - camera is in the helipad to the top right, looking west south west. I cant actually find that tower in google maps though.
