407 Driver, why do always want to hurt me?

 

That really stings.

 

I'll have to dig out my Bell hat that says that exact same thing......it's prolly about 20 years old so that'd mean you were around 60 when it came out and your memory could of been failing you back then too.

407Too......It sure as **** wouldn't be whispering with that jackasss in the cockpit.

 

Have a great weekend guys.

So are there any 427s registered in Canada?

 

Thanks for all the feedback lads.

Didn't the 427 program get cancelled in favour of the "all-new" 429?

It did, but Bell did produce several of them. Deliveries started in January of 2000. Haven't been able to find the numbers, but I think there were a few dozen built, mainly for the US and South Korean markets (Samsung made the fuselage and tailboom).

I think the 427 numbers were up into the 40's. At the HAI, they mentioned the high time airframe was in Equador, and about 8,000 hrs if I recall correctly?
