Bell left the show??
It would be really interesting to find out why Bell pushed out of the 139 project?
They probably wanted to put a Bell 205 tail rotor and boom on it, or they thought it would compete with their newest and "modern" Bell 210!
Tell you what if the Bell people don't get their act together soon they will be in serious trouble, we just had local operator purchase thier first 5 koalas and 2 powers to replace their fleet of 412, 407 and 206's. This used to be all Bell territory, is now being invaded by Agusta and EC.
