Hi all,

Nick said:"No pity here, Bell uses a different philosophy with everything, consistent with holding down the lower cost end of the market (that is not a slur, someone has to fill that market slice!)"

Well Bell is not THAT cheap anymore either:
Someone local just bought a 206BIII with some minimum equipment for US$1.2 M, delivered in 2008!!

You get THREE R-44-II models for that and fly 9pax to more altitude than the good old 206, NEVER worry about the TR, now you even can get a A/C, delivery in 4-5 month....

And no I am NOT a Robinson Dealer or get any credits from Frank!

I love EC though!
