HeliExpo '05: All Bell 427i Customers Convert to New Bell 429

As noted elsewhere in today's news, the new Bell 429 light twin was revealed at ceremonies held at the Bell booth at Heli-Expo 2005.  A large crowd watched at two complete mock-ups of the Bell 429, one corporate and one EMS version, were revealed from behind lighted screening and accompanied by much fanfare and music.

Michael Redenbaugh, chief executive officer for Bell Helicopter presided over the ceremonies pointed out to the audience the fact that “The Bell 429 is reflective of considerable customer input and guidance to Bell over the last few years. We listened to what they wanted and the Bell 429 is the result. So it gives me great satisfaction to announce that all the 427i customers we signed in the last year have converted their order to a Bell 429. That speaks volumes to the support we give our customers and they give us.”

Current orders for the Bell 429 stand 90. Approximately 80 of those are converted 427i orders.
