I just noticed this the other day, if you look closely at the formation flight with blue thunder and the jetranger, both actors are actually sitting in the back of the 206, pretty impressive flying considering where they are sitting hey....
Well, nothing wrong with that, a sensible idea. Everyone knows that it's always the bloke in the front who gets shot. By sitting in the back, the bullets miss the pilot. This is so obvious, really. I'm surprised that some so-called helicopter pilots here didn't know this.
