Who knows about new helicopters?

A buddy of mine's dad just ordered a Bell 430.....Any idea what these bad mofo's cost? http://www.bellhelicopter.com/en/aircraft/commercial/bell430.cfm


I would guess they are in the millions but I don't know anything about planes or choppers......

I'll bet Ned knows.

There was a new one flying in Sarasota, don't know if it was that model, but damn, the sucker was quiet!

Huizenga has two, both emerald green and they used to have Dolphin logos on the tail. Greg Norman had one for awhile also. They were regular sights here in Jupiter for years. With Tiger Woods moving to town I suspect he will have one too....

a few year old one is in the four mil range gotta think a new one would be seven to ten easy.

I have no idea of cost but a local guy has a big multi seat heli like that. He rarely gets to use it though. Says he bought it as an investment, it's rented out enough that it actually turns a profit. He keeps a small 2 seater to buzz us on the river occasionally or use to comute to work 50 miles away.
