But what about other 2 helicopters which were flying alongside, how did they not crash?

Probably had more experience with flying by instruments only, or they were just being more cautious.

With rotary aircraft, instrument experience varies a lot more from pilot to pilot than fixed wing, that and fixed wing aircraft have a lot more altitude to cushion any mistakes of an inexperienced pilot.

Yeah makes sense, but weird that they put the president in less experienced one.
