Skidz Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Brought my students to the Bell plant in Mirabel today. We got the royal tour. We didn't get to see the MAPL prototypes, but we did get to see the first two 429s going down the line. The cabin is HUGE ! :shock: Over 200 cubic feet ! That's almost as much as the 412... :up: I especially like the clamshell cargo doors. This machine is gonna rock ! :punk: The only downside is almost everything Bell produces in Mirabel is exported. That sucks the big one ! :down: Quote
