A helicopter pilot reported a near-miss with a remote-controlled plane on the same day a JetBlue passenger aircraft hit a drone as it was touching down at John F. Kennedy Airport.   The Bell 407 heli captain averted a collision while flying from JFK to Manhattan Monday, merely hours after the JetBlue plane smashed into the UAV while it was at an altitude of 3,000 feet.
