[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the helo was en route from Langley back to Ft. Belvoir, why did they follow the river at all? It's not remotely the most direct path, which would be over land. [/quote] Rivers are quieter but clearly they need a better plan for avoiding active DCA jet traffic.[/quote] I'm the PP you quoted. I saw a clip on youtube of an "expert" saying that military helicopters fly designated "lanes" or routes and the east edge of the potomac is one common route. However he also said if they helicopter was at 200 ft like it should have been, he would have missed the plane entirely as plans are not that low until they are much closer to the runway. [/quote]
