Can you help me find this old NES helicopter game that's been haunting me for years

[Help!]

I've been trying to find this game I played as a kid in the mid-90s on a European NES clone and it's driving me crazy. I've asked every AI I can find and watched tons of YouTube videos but no luck.

Here's what I remember: There was this helicopter level (might've been the only helicopter level in the whole game, not sure) where you're flying to the right in a side-scrolling view. Blue sky, daytime. You're basically racing to catch up to something fast (I think it was a train) and there's this mountain with a tunnel ahead. The tunnel has one entrance and one exit, and you fly straight through it, no dodging or maneuvering inside as far as I remember.

The whole thing was super fast-paced and really hard. I'm pretty sure you were supposed to catch up to whatever you were chasing and maybe land on it?

I'm like 90% sure it was NES but not completely certain. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

EDIT: Guys, thank for your help, but chatgpt somehow solved it! It's Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Stage 2-1. Now I can finally rest! Solved!
