Grand Canyon

A view of the Grand Canyon from the helicopter landing area in the Hualapai Indian Territory, 300 feet above the Colorado River.

Maverick Aviation run a large fleet of these Eurocopter "EcoStar" helicopters, and three of them are visible in the Panorama (these are three different helicopters, although some of the people appear more than once in the panorama). On the return journey we were part of a fleet of half a dozen helicopters flying back to Las Vegas. With music playing in the cabin. it felt like a scene from the film "Apocalypse Now".
