In a ceremony held yesterday afternoon, AgustaWestland delivered a new AW139 equipped with a Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite to Honeywell aviation services chief pilot Ed Newton, Jr. Honeywell will base the new helicopter at its flight department headquarters at Morristown Airport in New Jersey and will use it to fly customers and employees and to demonstrate the company’s products, according to Newton.

The AW139 replaces a 1997 Sikorsky S-76B; Honeywell has been flying S-76s since 1980. Newton, a helicopter pilot since 1969, has already flown the new AW139 and said, “I love it. It’s the best helicopter I’ve ever flown.”
