I used to take a water taxi from Alexandria to Georgetown up the Potomac and it would pass Reagan Airport and it was always busy with all types of air traffic.
I used to see a lot of helicopter traffic when I lived in Jacksonville because of the 2 large navy bases there, but they were probably 20-30 miles from the commercial airport. Obviously DC is a different situation with everything that is there. With all that traffic there with different types of aircraft, it’s surprising that something like this hasn’t happened before.
