It's neck and neck. Not sure of the fleet totals, but at this rate, if both factories stopped building aircraft, we might still run out of Bells first because of the sheer number of Robinsons built.
The Bell's have enough common sense to go crash somewhere on the job where no one will see it happening.
The Robbie's are determined to do it in public and while performing dangerous manoevres such as landing or taking off
