    • Goofs
      When Blue Thunder was malfunctioning near the power transformers the "rotor overspeed" indicator was showing and then the "Low Rotor RPM". It is not possible to have both at the same (or nearly the same) time. Of course this MAY have been done on purpose to add to the drama of the malfunction.
