[Scan-DC] Military helos to enable ADSB, hopefully?

[Daniel Brown]

If nothing else, it will contribute publicly available data that can be analyzed to highlight dangerous areas such as Helicopter rt 4, or overflights that contribute to excessive noise, etc. 

Ads-b receivers in aircraft can provide another tool for situational awareness of the airspace around a flight, as well - can show traffic, weather, and flight information. Improves safety for all flights, if everyone is broadcasting.
