Bell 427 - the good, bad and ugly...
Good
Quick
Smooth
Reliable day to day
Good single engine performance
P & W engines
Bad
Unless you're Alfa, very difficult/impossible to use for medevac missions
Major parts are becoming difficult to obtain without big delays
Limited space for avionics
Poor visibility
Bell support on this product is dismal (maybe better if you buy one of the 3 new airframes still available)
Ceiling limitations
No flat floor
A face only a mother could love...
Ugly
Mast issues
Hull value is in freefall and concerns about residual value going forward.
Tech support and Parts support
