No matter what you say about them you do have to admire their
PR amchine. They do have a reputation for being very professional but to be fair all of these comments generally come from within the organisation and I haven't heard any from outside.
If you look at the history of their service you will find that their new machines have generally been to replace crashed ones! Prior to the Bell 407 it had been a while, but still things like this do spike curiousity. I have no knowledge to pass comment either way.
Incidentally BlackHawk9 by my reading is a LAME and to suggest that he personally flew the 6 bladestrikes is a bit extreme.
