Another highlight of my trips to Florida was the discovery of this – incredulously tucked away in a dark corner of Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney, Orlando. Suspended by wires at considerable height but otherwise unmolested, this genuine R/C miniature of the Blue Thunder helicopter may well still be in situ today. As the pics show there had been no restoration to the chopper (broken cannon/canopy windows missing) before mounting and the sign (accompanied by original lobby card) was partially hidden behind a plant. If any fans out there happen to be passing and confirm its still there by shooting some more recent pics, I’d be happy to host them here…
