Cowboys, cops and doctors are not just mainstays of the movies--they're
also Bell customers. Recent deliveries from Bell include a second
Model 430 for the University of Tennessee Medical Center's Lifestar
program. The aircraft replaces a Bell 412 and was acquired under
Bell's Platinum Plus program, which reduces the cost of an EMS-configured
430. The New York Police Department, which was the first police
unit to use a helicopter (a Bell 47, in 1948) has taken delivery
of a new Bell 412EP, and the Flitner Ranch, a Wyoming guest resort,
has replaced a 206B-3 with a Bell 407.
