Thanks Margins for that helpful contribution, for some of us those facts aren't statistics - they're friends!

OK this thread has got off on the wrong foot, All here on pprune have lost friends from flying various models of helicopters over the years.

Margins, I think what you were referring too was the S76a model that had some main blade failures in the early days of production.

I am wondering if some customers that jumped over to the AW139 may now go back to the "tried and tested" S76 for future orders.

well

Yesterday they dumped thier 2009 AW-139's and we flew all day in the 1984 S-76A++ steam gauge Phase II's. With both having over 20,000 hours each on the airframes.
