Not dissappointed at all Nick! I admire how much hard work you have put in to the S92. Lighten up! Just asking questions to clarify rumours that are going around, in the true spirit of PPRUNE. I thought your initial "tired old" snide remark should not go unresponded to though.
As a matter of fact I believe the entire EC225/725 production is sold out for several years anyway. The S92 order book is a credit to Mr Lappos! The dollar/euro situation is certainly going to be to the S92's advantage.
I will take your failure to mention the blade shedding safety advantage of the 225 as a point to EC.
Thank you for the assurance that you are not aware of any engine problem delaying the Norsk aircraft.
