    Helicopters have every right to be there too. Even if it’s just a training flight, they need to be familiar with the complexities so they can do their job when they need to.

    What we know so far the helicopter was fine, right up until they confirmed they saw the jet and would pass behind it. Sometimes it can be tough to see in the clutter, and I imagine it’s worse at low altitude and night
