Bell Offered the 429.

MBB tried to fit what they thought CCG needed with the EC135. If they had gotten certification for the EC145T2 then it would have been a totally different ball game.

CCG does not have any 412's

We'll see what the next round delivers.

I think there will be many problems as always with a new type and hopefully nothing disastrous. I can see many weak areas with the 429 for this type of operation, but as long as the Pilots are happy with their new office, well......
