I lived near Dullles airport...

At night you could see the airliners lined up on the landing approach from the west. Like six in a row, they looked like bright stars in the sky, and each plane in the line that was farther away appeared a little higher in the sky than the plane ahead of it.

I’m guessing the farthest one was at least 20 miles away. Those white forward facing landing lights are very bright in the night sky. How the helicopter pilot could not see an approaching airliner from less than a mile away I cannot understand.

I get that.

IN fact looking at the flight path chart before the angle of final approach the helo would have been looking straight ahead into those lights. An uncomfortable fact.

Add the position lights on bright, the anti-collision light rotating, and finally the lights in each window. I agree with you, it seems an impossibility. That’s why I don’t think it was accidental.
