Sounds exciting!
One point that is worth considering is how often aircraft seem to be painted to look nice rather than to be visible. You know, in Germany all taxis are painted the same "light ivory" colour because it is supposedly the most visible, even better than pure white. Yet most people until recently seemed to like their vehicles in various shades of black!
Then you notice many large fixed-wing aircraft with these "Tell-Tail" lights aimed at a vertical fin painted in some dark colour instead of something light and easy to spot. Check out USAir for instance in the pictures of their new floatplane.
We were once departing the NAF Base, Port Harcourt, Nigeria in a Dornier 328, a speedy little bird that gets up to 250 knots in very little time. Just after take-off my co-pilot called "Traffic at 2 o'clock," which proved to be a Bell 212 maintaining about one thousand feet.
My helo colleague had not bothered to call the NAF Base Tower because he thought he knew that this time of day was a quiet one. Yes, well, it usually was but we had been asked to fly then for some reason or other...
We passed just below and behind him, using that basic principle that traffic that is changing its relative position is not something you are going to collide with. There really wasn't much choice, since we were not supposed to climb above one thousand feet until we were in contact with Port Harcourt Approach, although, yes, I suppose I could have passed further astern if I had felt like doing that. (As it was, I had the right of way as the aircraft at a lower altitude but I certainly wasn't going to use that to do anything silly. One mid-air can ruin your entire day.)
Of course the very next time I visited House One I checked on whether a certain man had had anything to say on a certain evening. Yes, as a matter of fact, my spies reported to me, he told everyone that he had noticed this relatively large white airplane suddenly appear at his 5 o'clock doing 250 knots (when he must have said something like, "My goodness gracious!" or words to that effect), before having a bit more than usual to drink! After that I think he always made that traffic call, just in case.
