Hey, it seems Armaholic has been shut down!!
Alternatively, I added the file to this link which uses a personal external website (completely unrelated to the Arma game).
Features:
System consists of two separate modules:

You can call heli wherever you want on the map
You can call heli whenever and as many times as you want
Graphical interface window for options selection
Different helicopters available for selection
You can add user heli inserting its classname and text description
Automatic procedure to identify a safe landing position close to the selected one
You can select heli route clicking on intermediate waypoints on map
Multiple helicopter calls
No need to place heli from editor. It is spawned at each call
** OrderHeliGO
Allows you to order a helicopter, in which you are on board, to go and land at a point on the map. Useful to simulate and manage an insertion to specific zone.
