Guys, I'm not trying to make a mega deal of this...Press, you are quite correct.."look out of the window", and "they are easier to see than a lot of other aerial contraptions..."

Yes, maybe nine red Hawks, trailing smoke are easily spotted from a slow moving helicopter, but imagine it the other way round...trying to spot a small, almost static helicopter, at low level and 300 knots, from the confined cockpit of a fast jet.

Indeed, Class G airspace is there for all to use and enjoy, without too many prohibitions. I'm simply questioning the wisdom of a pilot placing himself in close proximity to a formation of nine fast jets!.
