Visionary,

You stand corrected.

It was a sales push, with perhaps 10 press releases and stops virtually everywhere. Were you asleep while it was being played?

Regarding the bragging about the "self deployment" (which is child's play in a normal helcopter), that was a quote from one of those press releases.

It was not a repositioning trip, visionary, it was a PR trip.

The free publicity works both ways, I think. That they chose to brag about the legendary trip makes them foolish enough to ge made fun of, I think.


Here is the publicity for the "repositioning" "self deployment":
