Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any info on the red Jet Ranger used in the 1978 version of Superman. You know where it ends up perched on the edge of a skyscrapper. The number appears to be N5**ER. |

The film was shot at a studio in England (that's why the city looks so fake) . So it's probably a mockup, or if it was a real helicopter, possibly came off the Agusta production line. |

Your right there was a mock-up done in a studio with the actors but there was also real footage shot in NY with a real Bell. I agree it does have an "Auhusgta" built look about it. |

I've never seen the film, just clips of Superman lifting the helicopter. BTW: You do know that the Agusta Bells looks the same as American built units?
