widgeon Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Maybe ALpine are trading their 407's for Ec135's as well . Canadian launch customer for any new Bell is always Niagara Helicopters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanging Out Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 is that right, that vih ordert 8 bell 417 for mike wiegele heliskiing to replace the a stars?? Might be waiting awhile for those new rockets. Ran into some Bell Engineers doing testing on a 412 strake kit in Leadville Co. and they said the 417 program has been put on the back burner due to lack of funds.

heliops69 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I don't know about the 417 but VIH did order a few 407s to replace some AStars, Can't wait to see what the 417 is actually gonna do when it is out though. Does anyone know if they are gonna go to a full glass cockpit in the 417 or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORION Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 VIH ordered 6 407s a year ago and were expecting 3 to turn into 417s in the middle of the production schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
