Action 5 Chopper
The Quahog 5 News Action 5 Chopper plays an important role in S3E8, "The Kiss Seen Around the World," catching the titular event before being shot down during a hostage standoff. Another 'copter, the Quahog 5 News Traffic Cam helicopter, makes an appearance in S8E11, "Dial Meg For Murder," when the pilot, Drunk Billy, crashes into an overpass.
WPRI Channel 12 operated a helicopter for a brief period around 2008, and used the heck out of it, making it seem more a flashy marketing device than a serious news-gathering tool.
