The hangar was revolving around the center of the earth at 1000 MPH, and orbiting the sun at 67,000. It's a miracle I didn't go through the door entirely.

In the insurance world this is called a “friction claim” because the payout is a result of the owners helicopter insurance policy rubbing up against his hangar.......

The DEA finds a new way to bust open the hangar door of the Colombian drug smugglers, and find that the stash was hidden inside the linings.

Hoskins discovered just how accurate the "Return to Home" feature was in the Autopilot. Trouble was he had earlier set the home position before taking the aircraft out of the hangar.

Hoskins was a little annoyed with the performance of the helicopter. He still had one whole door to go.

If only the cameras had continued rolling after James Bond escaped in the opening scenes of
' For Your Eyes Only ' would have revealed how it really ended.

Despite the manufacturer’s claims, it was proved that this model couldn’t lift an underslung car battery.
