The heliport in St. Johann (Pongau) is located in the province of Salzburg in Austria, directly on the Salzach river. A private TV station once filmed a series at the old heliport against this picturesque Alpine backdrop, the main character of which was a striking rescue helicopter.
The heliport as it can be found today around 50 km south of Salzburg was completed in August 2015 after a year of construction. The site is home to Heli Austria's company headquarters with the entire administration and technical department. The premises also house the two rescue helicopters Martin 1 and Martin 10.
In addition to air rescue, Heli Austria is also involved in the areas of transportation and sightseeing flights. The fleet includes several Super Puma helicopters, which are used for special missions and firefighting throughout Europe and even worldwide.
In this scenery, great importance was paid to a faithful representation of the heliport and its surrounding area. The heliport is easy to find in the simulator under LOSJ. In addition to the four parking positions, the general take-off and landing area is also available as a starting point.
Most of the buildings have been completely recreated as 3D models. Particular attention should be paid to the individual ground textures, which have been extensively reworked.
