ATC, never seen that before.

I set a Spanish AI Fokker SAR to do a TNG at a waypoint out at sea from LERT.
I had it se to depart at 09.20, I also had an AI heli departing at 09.00, when I went to view it the heli was still there and as the Fokker started to taxi so did the heli.
The Fokker was in front on the taxyway and the next minute the heli took a turning to another taxiway and overtook the Fokker and took off first, which was right in a way seeing as it was schedulled to go earlier but this is the first time I've see anything like that with AI aircraft.

Hi Steve, No mate, just the one.
There is a long taxiway to the runway with links off it to another parallel taxiway and the AI heli which as I said was behind took one of the links and overtook, I was surprised, now if this was one off glitch I don't know, I went to the same airport and time later to try it out but the heli had left this time.

I've seen that a couple of times in FSX but was never able to replicate it. I've put it down to the AI just going '**** it, I'll mess with his mind' every so often.
