Trivia:

Throughout the show a lot of the aerial shots were taken from the movie Blue Thunder (1983) to save money. Quite frequently throughout the season you can see that the pilot is wearing the green flight suit from the movie and not the blue flight suit that they're wearing in the television show.

Quotes:

PVC: Well what's that bird Chaney? You look like you're flying my Grandmother's old wringle washer!
