Where it came unstuck is the extra built-in capabilities it had. Large cabin, large baggage area, large fuel tank.
Full fuel and full pax - no way - but full fuel is significantly more than a 206 endurance.

It will do what it says on the side of the can. You just need to read what it says.
IF it's Bell, better to just angle towards the 407.
