Among the near misses were 14 incidents a month on average over the five-year period involving military Hawks, Tomahawks, and Cherokee helicopters encroaching on the airspace of passenger jets
So, how long have the "Military" [all branches,and Nations] been flying these Tomahawk and Cherokee Helicopters, then? I think we should be told...
Also, how many near misses were there involving Civvie Hawks?
Seriously,
As a [just] retired Civvie ATC [ex mil] When you have 1.2 million airways movements alone in the UK, the unknown number of Light a/c, Microlights, Balloons plus all the UK Mil [and Visitors] aviating around. I think that is a pretty good record. It could be better, but that needs thought and education on all sides
