Yes, but it was empty. Load it up with 10,000 lbs and a full fuel load, and it won’t leap quite as much.
I find all the negative comments about an American made product, that can change the way people fly, to be most interesting for this site. Bell and Boeing work hard and so do the guys on the lines. So they had problems in the beginning, I am not sure there was ever a plane that had 0 defects from the first day on the flight line. /just a Bell fan’s rant.
