but people have touched it, bought it and more orders will be on the way soon. Grid are delighted with theirs, a private owner seems happy with his and the Air Ambulance should prove the same (I know of at least one air ambulance who is keenly watching the Wilts cab).
Congratulations to Gary and his team.
I flown Bell products for many years and out of Eurocopter, Bell and MD, Bell seem to get the fewest whinges and the happiest customers. You can get spares when you need them and they don't pull your pants down quite as far when it comes to paying for them.
Perhaps one day I'll get to fly a 429! :o)
