Do you mean Wings of the Apache starring Tommy Lee Jones and Nicolas Cage? That film is epic.

"Oooops, you blewww it..."

Oh and it was 1990 I think, so not 80s cheese

When I first saw that I was like WTF! Since when do helicopters do 'loop the loops' but it turns out some skilled Apache pilots can actually do it! Very impressive to say the least.
