And you similarly for those aircraft made in your country of birth. Anyway if there is grounds to condemn the 225 for the reliability of its epicyclic then I'll do so. But if the 225 is being "dissed" out of ignorance and stupidity, I'll defend it. Until we get the concrete results from the investigation we don't know either way. Although what we do know is that the EC225 is superior to the S92 in so many ways. But just possibly, not all ways. We shall see. Let's remember the S92 was the first to nearly kill, and the first to actually kill, by a long margin.

It is also worth bearing in mind that I have flown both the S92 and the EC225, you have flown neither. So one of us is taking from experience, the other is making it up to suit their personal agenda.
