269/300 drivers - was Jaws II crash real chopper?

[Tickle]

I have always wondered, do you think they wrecked a real helicopter for this movie scene?

And what did you think of the crash in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? It looked like a real accident on set which really added to the absurdity of the film.

According to IMDb.com, the "Tomatoes" accident was both real and unintentional.

What's it got to do with 269/300 drivers? It's a Hiller 12

[newaviator]

to keep it all PC , no doubt a statement made at end of the film to confirm no tomato's injured or maimed during the making of that film with the Hiller

The Jaws clip has a good model of a 300, you can tell it isn't though. The blades cone up before he starts it...
