Unfortunate rather than embarrassing. The EC225 is a fantastic aircraft which unfortunately has a problem with one of its thousands of components - albeit an important one. The S92, although better these days, is of poor design in many areas and has a number of problems. Fortunately for the 92 none of these has been quite critical enough to ground the fleet, though it has come close.

So crow while you can SAS but history will show which is the better aircraft long term. And by the way, since you have flown neither of these aircraft and I have flown both, I am not sure your opinion is of value, based as it is only on nationalistic prejudice.

There, I bit, which is of course what you were hoping for.
