[edit] AB139

Does anyone have a definitive source with the reason for Bell's withdrawal from the AB139 partnership? --BillCJ 16:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I did some searching on the web, and found out that the primary givien reason was Bell's dissatisfaction with Augusta's marketing of the AB139. I don't know what exactly that entailed. I also found that at the recent unveiling of the Bell 417, Bell announced it was studying a new medium twin. I guess they are ready to try again, seeing that the Bell 214 ST wasn't a great success, and the 139 partnership didn't last. - BillCJ 05:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
