Beat that indoor area (like it looks you did) and then either there or at the next checkpoint or two there's a room with two machine gun turrets that you can use to shoot down the copter.

If the turret isn't in that structure, run back to your hovercraft and continue on your journey - those buildings are mainly there so you can find the switch to open the gate to keep driving your hovercraft through the city.

damn your screenshots look nice...

anyway after you go through the warehouse-like place (first screenshot), you'll be out in the open. there is really only one way you can go. it's very short and you should end up at a ladder leading to a watch tower. in the watch tower there are cannons you can use to take down the hilicopter and open up some gates

Yeah, you need to find the tower with the 2 mounted machine guns.

You're thinking with the rules of old shooters. The rules have changed. Start thinking outside the box, because you can break the box now. You have to look at your environment, and think about how those things act in real life. Many times, this will lead you to the answer.

I didn't bother gunning down the chopper, I just hopped on my airboat and sailed away.
Another note about the fun (SPOILERS!):





































There's another point, Highway 17, I got stuck in an area with a dead tanker one end, and a gate the other, where a dropship drops people (obviously), and I don't know what you're meant to do, but I leaned up some metal sheets and made a ramp for my buggy to hop over.
