Both aircraft involved in this accident were on training missions. Which means that their attention might have been drawn to other things than maintaining a perfect lookout from time to time. And we all know how difficult it can be to spot other aircraft, especially helicopters, even if one constantly looks outside.
Well said, even with TCAS/ACAS on board, itīs sometimes hard to spot the traffic you know is around.....
