Perhaps Wasteland is looking Elsewhere?

Not sure Wasteland is looking at NATO's shortage. In the slipstream of the initial flight over ‘Vile last month of the 1st production model of the Marine One VH-71 taxi for the White House, (Merlin y’all), AgustaWestland is exhibiting an AW101 cabin mockup at the 61st NBAA Convention in Orlando today.

Their blurb states:
All of the equipment business jet passengers have come to expect is available in the executive version of the AW101, including advanced environmental controls, mood lighting, in-flight entertainment systems, interphone system and secure satellite communications. Moreover, the AW101 has an active vibration reduction system that provides a more comfortable ride. One possible VVIP layout is the “business executive” version, featuring as many as 20 seats, a bathroom and a fully equipped galley. Another layout being offered features 10 large executive seats, a more spacious bathroom and a flight attendant station.
If built, that's a standard almost comfortable enough for fast jet pilot R&R.
