Lol great show Truck. A long time ago I used to visit some family in the Woodland Hills area and once I remember seeing Mimi parked at Van Nuys back in the day. It does crack me up watching them using pistion sounds on a turbine powered aircraft. A few other shows were guilty of it too, including Airwolf occasionally. I think I remember a scene involving a King Air sounding like it was powered by a pair of pistons...as an airplane geek kid then going...'hey thats not right!'.

Cheers
TJ

They are still doing that today. Have you seen Journey 2: The Mysterious Island? In that movie you can see a Bell 206 Jet Ranger taking off and backfiring in the process. ;)

A few years ago, i saw MIMI in the skies over Pasadena.....Under her was an air conditioner for a high rise......They were lowering into place......Could'nt help to remember the coughing and belching of smoke from the show, watching her hovering over the building.....

Lol. I have never seen that Tv-show and as far as I can remeber so have it not been shown on Tv where I have lived. How many such series has it been made in US, with the theme of some good guys huntiing and catching the bad guys??? The flying scen's is not the best one's but they are funny to watch. And it is great that the helicopter used in the show is still flying, if I have understood it right.

Trucker17, thank you for you answer.
But I think you might have understood this:

This was not a question of how many episodes they made of this serie. It is an retorical question of how many Tv series has been made up on the same theme. There must be over 1000 Tv series with the same sort of story, the bad guys they shoot 100 bullets with just one 'bad' hit and the good guys they always hit the target with just few shoots. Such scenes must there be over 10 000. I am not saying it is bad, just that there must be so many of them. Even if it is low quality so do I enjoy to look at them from time to time.
