Trivia

• The type of helicopter used for Blue Thunder was a French-made Aerospatiale Gazelle -- modified with bolt-on parts. Only two were built for the movie -- the only way to tell which Blue Thunder is which, by looking at the way the main rotors spin. The two F-16 Fighting Falcons were actually scale models. And the 360 degree loop that Blue Thunder made in the film was a radio controlled model.
