Indeed: that pic was in Texas! It was an accident damaged machine, rebuilt and zero-timed components throughout.

It took a while to sell the old one, but I got a sensible offer in the end...less than I wanted, more than I feared. The Agusta thing is still a problem (I was asked about it by the buyer), but if you're prepared to deal with Agusta, it shouldn't ground the aircraft as long as parts can be found. My Bell parts were adopted by the factory, so not an issue, until overhaul time.
