A typical rescue helicopter is shown here:

Note the red lights (rotating beacons), one under the nose, one on the top and one (not in view) at the top of the vertical stabilizer.
Also note the dark rectangular object just below the open door. That is a siren (and audio voice) loudspeaker.

Hello I'm an air traffic controller from Shanghai,China. I feel so happy and surprised to find such a good website that I can learn more and have more chance to communicate with other friends from all over the world. I have one question that any friend can offer me a hand. In China,we always control A/C in Chinese,so English is just used for foreign crews. I have no chance to learn how to make the traffic information to foreign ones. any one can help me?(PS:I'm an area controller)

Hi, i am from New Delhi, India. It is a difficult task doing ATC in two languages. it is amazing how u people do it.

Perhaps a med evac helicopter?  I've seen several helicopters that transport injured around with different types of lights.  Even saw (and heard) a helicopter with a siren!  But, I don't know what good that really does (as if the aircraft in front of it is going to pull over).

Are helicopters with 3 slowly flashing red lights significant in some way?

I've seen them around Los Angeles but was never sure what they did.

I learned to fly in an airport that exists under the Atlanta Class B airspace (KRYY if anybody was curious) and I've never really had too bad of a problem with that.  It is difficult to pick up flight following at some points though.  There are times of day where they're just too busy and will deny you the FF.  That happened to me on my first solo cross country which made that a little bit more nervewracking but it's not usually a problem.

I just don't think people would be comfortable getting onto a plane without a pilot on board.  There's just too much of a possibility of hacking or computer failures etc.  We already have the technology, that's not the issue.  It's just not realistic to think that commercial flights would experiment with it.

OK. No problem.
Actually some of the music sounds pretty good!

Emirates or one of the other ME airlines operated a "super" flight into JFK for a while. But I haven't heard it recently. Anybody know if and why they stopped?

It was low demand. They moved the A380 over to the DXB - YYZ route and it flies in 3 or 4 times a week. Arrives YYZ late afternoon and departs in the evening around 22:45 I think.
