[edit] Unreferenced text

I don't want to tag this in the article, because I'm worried it would look really bad, but after reviewing the current references, the following is uncited:

  • The impetus for developing the Bell 429 came primarily from the emergency medical services (EMS) industry, which has been looking for an updated helicopter.
  • The Bell 427 was originally intended to address this market, but the 427's small cabin size would not adequately accommodate a patient litter, and the systems did not support instrument flight rules (IFR) certification.
  • Bell is also partnering with Korea Aerospace Industries and Mitsui Bussan Aerospace of Japan in the helicopter's development.
  • The launch customer for the Bell 429 is Air Methods Corporation, the largest medevac provider in the United States.

While I believe that many of those are true, they need references. - Davandron | Talk 14:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
