What is it with the Italians and finishing other peoples work?
The AB139, bought out Bell....I'm sure Bell provided some technology they needed then was bought out.
The BA609, same. When Bell isn't needed anymore for their expertise...bought out...
The new jet trainer....went into a partnership with the russians...got the already finished plane...got out of the partnership and now sells it as their own!!
I have heard more examples but can't remember them right now....anyone?
