A United Airlines flight on final approach into Orange County nearly collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter this week, prompting yet another FAA investigation into a close call that never should have happened.
At around 8:40 p.m., a military helicopter crossed directly in front of the aircraft on final approach.
According to the FAA, the two aircraft came within roughly 525 feet vertically and about a quarter-mile horizontally, well inside what anyone would consider comfortable margins, even if technically not a collision.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
