Regarding the copters, I am pretty sure that a couple of them were being used to film Trauma. I noticed that one was a Huey painted with the faux SFPD logo followed by the helicopter with the TV camera. I'm not sure many real big city police forces use Hueys anymore. Those are mostly for fighting fires these days.
Sadly, the ABC 7 copter near my house this morning was likely filming the tragic accident on Fell and Broderick.
