> The first jet to abort its landing was a Delta Air Lines flight carrying 97 passengers and five crew from Orlando.

> Then, as a Republic Airways flight was approaching, the helicopter’s radar track jumped to a new location after being unresponsive for a couple of seconds, according to the summary. The Republic flight came within half a mile of the helicopter, which was 200 feet below. That jet was also told to abandon its landing attempt.
