This helicopter first appeared in a 1983 American film<\/strong> directed by John Badham. A year later, and after the success of the feature film, the American channel ABC broadcast in 1984 a television series that only had one season of 11 episodes<\/strong> and whose protagonist was the famous helicopter of the Police Department of Los Angeles, armed with a cannon that was directed with the pilot's helmet (like the AH-64 Apache). If you didn't see the movie or the series, here you can see the fire demonstration that Blue Thunder did at the beginning of the feature film:<\/strong><\/p>\n
