Blue Thunder's registration

According to this website (http://www.gregdonner.org/blue_thunder/bt_movie.html), Blue Thunder was "helicopter N77GH." I assume this is the registration. It says 2502 on the tailfin. Is that the serial number? - Kooshmeister

Nevermind, apparently, the Gazelle they used has had a lot of different registrations over time, if you scroll down. - Kooshmeister

The fate of N230CA?

The same above website shows a "prop helicopter from Blue Thunder" which is a JetRanger reg. N230CA. Is that the somewhat restored remains of N230CA after it's crash in Katrina? Or perhaps a stunt helicopter (as the JetRanger crashes in the movie) with the fake reg. of the real N230CA? - Kooshmeister

Nevermind again. I just rewatched the film and the JetRanger used for the crash has different skids, meaning it wasn't the real N230CA and the prop on display in the website is that stunt 'copter after all. - Kooshmeister
