A new medium...

That would be great
End with the intensive care on older ship
We are actually operating a Lama mainly Logging and construction (no sh... pax business ) and looking for the future....
We need to take a lap away from our competitors, so the option of a modern medium is very effective
Let me wonder what Bell would bring out

I was flying both Koala and 350 B3, but they are about the same; 407 may pull less because of the airframe; maintenance is far easier on the 350 against both competitors, so I hope Bell would improuve it with a new product.

Resuming:

A NEW SINGLE ENGINED MEDIUM WITH SOME 2'000 SHP to fill the gap between the 2'500 / 3'000 lbs (of 350-407-119) and the K-Max 6'000 lbs on the hook would be great.
Some 4'000 @ 6'000 ft 20 C >>>> that would break the market

Let me hope so and stay safe!
