   Well, not ALL.

   Mil choppers will.

   Of course night flying is *difficult* and it's
   much easier to get confused about landmarks or
   whether something's about to cross your path.
   There's no quick fix and it's always been thus.

   In DC, the *one* controller was over-loaded and
   cut some corners and missed a couple of details.
   Didn't work out. The chopper pilot SHOULD have
   already known to stay low, but didn't. That's
   all it takes somewhere flying things are whizzing
   around all over the place.
