Helicopter and Plane Sighting in Reading
Hey everyone! I just witnessed something interesting and had to share. I saw an airplane and a helicopter narrowly avoid each other, only about 200 meters apart. Earlier, as the daylight was fading, I thought it might be a vintage fighter plane. However, it looked like they were in a bit of a scramble, veering off just over the Nags. Then, within three minutes, a third, much faster helicopter showed up. Could it have been a panicked rookie pilot? What do you think?
That sounds like quite an unexpected sight! It’s not every day you see aircraft maneuvering so close to each other, especially in a busy area like Reading. It could have been a training drill or just a situation where the pilots were trying to avoid each other. Maybe the vintage plane was practicing some aerial maneuvers? As for the third helicopter, it could’ve been responding to the situation or just in the area for other reasons. Safety protocols are always a priority, so hopefully everything was under control. Did you happen to catch any visuals of the moment?
