Seen taking off from Chamonix Mont Blanc Hélicoptères's Heliport near the village of Argentière, is this 2012 built Ecureuil. The heliport is situated at the feet of the famous Argentière-Glacier, a touristic hot spot in the Mont Blanc area (Europe's tallest peak). Blugoen operates a few AS-350B3, and leases heavier helicopters from Rotox (K-Max) and Heliswiss International (KA-32 and AS-332) if need be. Note the "Maximum Pilot View Kit" installed on the pilot side of F-HSBH, a modification developped by Swiss Rotor Services, increasing the pilot's view by factor 10.
