I love these people who theorize that there are scads of companies out there operating both a (insert your favorite combination of fixed-wing and helicopter here) whose CEO's are sitting around the conference room table dreaming, "Gee, if there were just ONE aircraft that could do both jobs..."

The other laugh I get is when people think that cost-conscious hospitals are going to pay the incredible acquisition/operation costs of a 609 and the crews that will fly them (at least, in the U.S.)

It's fantasy. But whatever. If that's what people need to justify the 609, I guess that works.
