The helicopter used in aerial shots belonged to real-life ex-army pilot Jerry M. Baxter. It was hired while he was running a crop-dusting business, after the filmmakers fancied a helicopter attack and determined that this one was perfect for the job. Baxter was also not only hired to fly it, but was asked to play the part of the Harbor Patrol pilot as well. In addition, he also built the full-scale model that was capsized by the shark using salvage parts, and sold it to Universal at the film's completion.
