description=Blue Thunder. To build it, the production company purchased a French Gazelle (Aerospatiale SA-341G, Serial# 1066 and 1075, both from 1973!) helicopter, which can fly at speeds of 200 MPH, and added several prop gimmicks to it. The Gazelle is so maneuverable that the stunt pilots were able to effectively reproduce the 360° loop which Scheider is seen performing on screen. Two helicopters were used in filming, one as a backup. Hughes Helicopters was the company hired to convert the Gazelle into Blue Thunder. Their main goal of course, was to make the helicopter appear as menacing as possible. After the movie both BT's were scrapped for parts, too bad really but the (poor condition) remains can be seen in the backyard tour of MGM studios in Florida.
