I'm not sure how many private B429 there are on PPRUNE but we are thrilled to by picking ours up soon from Mirabel. Everything I've heard about Bell's excellent customer service has come true. The purchase experience was top notch. Upgrading from an Airbus product we considered the EC-145T2 but were won over by the speed and ride quality of the B429. Going through the Bell Academy was also a real treat. They're a group of instructors down there. The ferry across the US will be exciting in December.
