AW609 flying at Arlington, Texas. The 609 is news because since 15th November 2011 it has been AW and not AB (AgustaWestland and nothing to do with Bell) but otherwise not much has changed yet. Not nothing - there is a new tail number and AgustaWestland has built a new facility in Texas (to comply with regulations) but there needs to be more to come, and fairly soon. The first 609 flight was in 2003; 9 years ago in case anyone cannot count! There are problems - not least the number of deposits paid - but AgustaWestland must have thought it was worth getting the machine to themselves - so we wait and see what happens in the next few months.
