er...the initial sighting was reported as below...insinuating that the helicopter crew didn't know where they were in congested LAX airpspace in the days of GPS in all aircraft and constant contact with ATC?

Yes, it is amazing that they think a news photographer who has spent 11 years in the same city flying in the news chopper could have his directions so confused as to be off by an entire 90 degrees compass heading.
Not only is the contrail spiralling [and I don’t mean tight ringlets] unlike a commercial jet, but it starts off wide and rapidly narrows. Commercial jet contrails don’t normally do that, do they?
