As an aside, yesterday afternoon I was looking at the Virtual radar over the southern North Sea (as you do) and noticed that the transatlantic traffic coming out of Schipol was dog-legging up the North Sea to avoid the area where the AARAs are. So there must have been a big exercise on yesterday. I can't say if this is normal, but have never noticed that before.

One of four crew members rescued after a US Navy helicopter crashed off Norfolk, Virginia, has died, officials say, while a fifth is still missing.

The US Navy MH-53E Sea Dragon was on a routine training mission.

US Coast Guard officials said they responded to a downed aircraft report at about 11:00 (16:00 GMT).

In a bizarre coincidence, the incident came a day after another US military helicopter crashed in the county of Norfolk, England, killing four people.

The helicopter involved in Tuesday's crash in the UK was a HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter that belonged to the US Air Force.
