Also Helen's pilot callsign is "India Golf Niner-Niner", which translates to IG99, a reference to the 1999 film The Iron Giant, also directed by Brad Bird.

This was honestly one of my favorite sequences with Helen, it showed she had her own backstory and was experienced and capable in her own right.
