The TH-119 is by far and away the best of the TH-X helicopter options. When you see it next to the 407 or the 135, it is head and shoulders above the others.
You need to keep a sloosh bucket of suds by the hangar. Every return to base, scrub soot from tailboom--keep it looking nice--take pride in your equipment.
I hope the U.S. is going to choose the 119 for their program. Unluckily Agusta (I should say Leonardo Helicopters division, but I’ll stick with the historical name) lacks the political support that both Bell and Airbus have. I think the Bell 407 is going to win for political reasons (if I were American I would prefer an American company as well), though.
