Noooby, you could almost be Canadian to butter face the 139 for the FMS. The Dutchies loved their UNS-1K -when we were covering the screen with a Garmin handheld, and their ilk likewise took to the Honeywell in the 139, where fingers had to blur the FMS keyboard prior to every takeoff. Still, a solid aircraft and the 1000 milestone proves design and engineering were tuned to industry demand. Just like Robinson.
