Default Bell Factory tour

Hi All,

Some friends of mine are going over to Fort Worth (from Sydney) in a couple
of months to do some ground tuition courses at the Bell Helicopter Pilot
Training facility there. I've been asked to come along with them (just for
the fun of it), but I don't want to do the $US1500 (and 5 days) B206
course - I'd rather use that for spending money elsewhere.

Does anyone know if there is a tour (for non-students / prospective buyers)
of the Fort Worth Bell facility? More importantly, are there tours of the
helicopter assembly factory in Montreal?

We have about 12 days in the US. 5 days are taken up by the B206 theory
course. I'll be doing my own thing for 5 days, but don't want to spend 5
days in Dallas. On the 6th day we are meeting up at Las Vegas. So I was
thinking I could make my way from FW to NY. Then to Montreal to visit the
Bell Assembly Factory. Visit Orange County Choppers (yes I know they're
bikes), Niagara falls etc, then head to Las Vegas from NY.

Can anyone share any experiences at the FW Bell Headquarters, or the
assembly plant?

Thanks,

jOsHuA.
