Looking for this movie


We are looking to get a copy of this movie. My boyfriend and I are helicopter pilots and he remembers watching this movie when he was younger and wants me to see it. Is there anyone out there who can tell us how to get this movie?

I am also looking for the movie! I also saw it many years ago, and only once. A friend of mine who I have lost contact with had it on VHS. The helicopter sequences are absolutely stunning. I am also a helicopter pilot. Let me know if you find it?
Regards,

I bought one on eBay and even though it's just an OK copy, it was great to watch it again!!!

The guy on eBay wants I think, 19.95 plus 5 bucks shipping. WORTH IT!

There IS a DVD of this around. Why it's so HARD to find I don't know!

There's a guy on PPRUNE who knows a guy who recorded it to his computer and cleaned it up and made it look like new. I think he charges around 15 Euros or so for a copy but I lost contact with him. I almost got to have a copy. :(

Never seen it before but heard great things about it for rotorheads.

Saw this on CBS when it was repeated in 1983.
Spent about 10 years searching for it on VHS, then gave up.

About 5 years ago I was at Virgin Megastore and saw it out front of a DVD shelf, and I just about passed out from joy!
Bought it for $12.95, and that was the only copy they had, and it was the only time I've seen it for sale in a store, new or used.

Just loaned it to a guy who says he loved Blue Thunder and liked Airwolf.
He said it was horrible and that there was nothing special about the helicopter flying!
I can't be friends with an idiot such as that.

There's a clip of the opening scene on YouTube here:

You can get it for under ten bucks if you know where to look.

I have an ok copy from a seller on eBay, was so pleased to finally have it on DVD after almost wearing the VHS out from repeated viewings! I would love to have a "cleaned-up" or truly remastered version...

Sadly, the link of the full movie is broken.
I found this video of the helicopter stunts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KESXvxOAP4c
I want the full movie too because the town which appears at the beginning of this video is Guaymas, Sonora, México, my home town and in the filmation day I was there at 8 years old. In those days, in that town, nothing happens so my father took me to see the helicopters flying by, I was so impress, it was one of the happiest days in my life.
