News helicopter, yes.
I think the PO-PO chopper gets to go further into the restricted airspace. Did you notice how much lower the police copter flies, compared to the news chopper?
I don’t think your plan will work. Back to the drawing board!
I loved the list of “things I learned”, though.
It was a police helicopter that had to withdraw. The pace of an aircraft landing every couple of minutes at an airport is not compatible with news or police assets being in the way with zero notice.
Chanel’s of communication take time. Would a police helicopter really endanger the landing of commercial aircraft? I think not.
