You use the chopper each turn in which you activate your Airstrike command. Otherwise, it stays where it is.
I'm sure no-one cares, but since my first game, I've house-ruled that choppers are removed after each end-of-round. There was no rule in the book and I made a command decision that all the cars are zipping down the road, it makes no sense to me that the helicopters would just... hover. And they hover for no reason since they can't shoot again. No, they gotta move on so they can circle back for another attack run.
I doubt it changes the game much either way. Since the cars tend to be well ahead of them by the next round, or at least avoid them as they move past, they very quickly become completely inconsequential until they are activated again.
What I really came here to say is that there may be an expansion we're missing with more complete helicopter rules, incl. advanced weapons, pilots, and movement.
