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.

Some folks say, based on the tower in the background, that it is FlyTampa's Sydney

Certainly looks like Sydney's control tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sydney_Airport's_control_tower.jpg oddly the reg on the Huey is actually used by an R-44 in real life.

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.
