Based on the hit movie Blue Thunder focuses on a special government department whose specialist piece of equipment was the hi-tech and super technology filled chopper known as Blue Thunder. Heading up the team is Frank Chaney (played by James Farentino) and his electronics specialist side-kick Clinton
Wonderlove aka Jafo (and played by comedy actor Dana Carvey of Wayne’s World fame).
Also part of the team are support truck drivers Bubba and Ski, a pair of ex football players who are more than help in the fight.
