That "about 80" order figure (with $100K refundable deposit) has been quoted
since 2000. Customers previously claimed for the type include Aero-Dienst, Bristow, Helicopter Services (now CHC) and PHI, plus Greg Norman, Wayne Huizenga, Don Carter, Ross Perot Jr. and at least one unnamed Mid East sheik, though some of the other LOI holders are likely to be six feet under by now.
The only recently announced customer is
Mike Bloomberg.
