Just as well I'm going to Duxford. Tomorrow!

A real shame, and a huge event. I had planned to go, if only to see the F22, B1, B52 and Typhoons.
Still, next year.
3 B17s at Duxford!

Why not buy Your Own Osprey to ferry you between air shows.

So - bottom line, what does it cost to buy a 609, and be the first in your billionaire's heliport with a tiltrotor? Barbour was reluctant to be pinned on price, as the 609 isn't yet certified. He also admitted that a tiltrotor would naturally cost more to maintain and run than an ordinary helicopter or business jet - but not as much as having both. All he would say was that Bell/Agusta "aim to be competitive - over the life of the aircraft - with business jets and helicopters now selling in the $18-23 million range."
