Since the B407 was introduced in the late 90's, many of it's bugs and quawks have been worked out. It now has become one the fastest, most reliable, cost effective and EMS friendly helicopter available. |

You do realize that all the recent accidents are twins? I have over 6000 hours in single and over 1000 hours twin. The only time I've had an engin issue was in a twin. I'd fly the 407GXi IFR all day. Or a twin. It's what I do. |

You don't like your aircraft at air methods just cry whine and say it's unsafe and why will apparently just get what you want only to screw over the others bases in the same area. |

Not a bad idea. Most of the aluminum and titanium used at Airbus came from Russia/Ukraine. The rest is from Britain. Britain wants to trade with North America but in order to do that they have to stop sending their metal to Airbus and send it to Boeing.
If that happens; does Airbus prioritize airplanes or helicopters? |

if you take a cold soaked 130 and put it in a heated hangar the windshield will crack. then after replacing it the glue has to cure for 3 days before putting it back in service. |
