This a quite a common bug in regular Arma 2 it usually occurs when a player joins a vanilla server and is running the ACE mod .It can also it can happen if you disconnect back to the lobby to switch to different squads and reconnect,it usually goes away after a little time or you go out of the game back to the server lists then reconnect and that will fixes it.Now this really begs the question why are you seeing that in a Dayz server,something aint right

It's exactly the other way around. It's an issue in vanilla A2/OA (destroyed choppers/planes cause this for JIP clients) and it's fixed in ACE and Domi.

I saw something similar to this happen once. I had found a truck and my buddy and I took it to the factory near Polana to repair. When we arrived we noticed a repairable chopper parked on the road right outside the gate. After inspecting it we determined it was too damaged to fix right then and they where bugged at the time anyway. We pulled the truck into the factory and scavenged for parts.

After fixing the truck I drove out of the factory and slightly bumped the tail of the chopper (hey it was dark and I might have had a few :P). The truck then flipped over and the chopper exploded. We bailed out and ran up the hill with explosions happening constantly behind us. When we got to the top of the hill we looked back to see the truck and chopper on fire, but the explosion sounds kept happening every couple of seconds so we decided to relog figuring it was a sound bug.

When we came back in we saw pretty much what you have in your screenshot, and the funny thing was it kept following us for at least a km or two. It was also as bright as day for another km or two after we finally lost the flames.
