Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- From CHiPs Online: The scene where the coffin comes out of the hearse is seen in the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode titled "CHiPs". Ponch jumps at the chance to go up in the chopper. In a later episode, he doesn't like flying. Ponch is sitting in the pilot seat of Helicopter 5...but he's not the pilot. Either the helicopter has something wrong with it or the inside sound effect is looped over and over. Edit
