Although I have been flying heavies for the last 15 years, I do have a fondness for Bell mediums. Having said that, I find Bell as a company somewhat behind the curve...they are being reactive to a market that Robinson targeted with success rather than proactive. I have not doubt Bell will sell 505's, but will they tap into the success of the R66's market share?
Come on Bell, for a company that broke into the civilian market like gangbusters in the 60's, and led the way......your at the back of the bus and missed your stop yet again!!!?!?!!
