Boeing may be their only hope. Orders are reportedly being cancelled.
That's a shame, and sad comment on the US helicopter industry. Horny
Harry Stonecipher decided Boeing didn't want to be bothered with a
light helicopter business;

Boeing spun off MDHI in 1999, before Stonecipher was CEO if I recall
correctly. At the time, the light helicopter business was pretty dead.

Doesn't Bell make a suitable version of their 206B3?


now the company has to buy Little Birds
from a Dutch holding company for a US Army order.
