Thanks, Guys! The Award was a complete surprise, as we were competing this year against spaceships, military UAVs and a balloon that circled the world. It is a real credit to our industry that a helicopter is now considered in that league. (I should be sure to mention that the Apache and the V-22 Osprey have also won the Trophy in the past).

The real work is now on us, we are setting the first set of major components on the final assembly line in Bridgeport, within a few meters of the original assembly line for the R-4. There will be a full production line running by summer.
