Bell Canada Delivers 5,000th Civil Helicopter
The milestone Bell 407GXP was handed over to China's Shaanxi Helicopter Co., which placed an order for 100 Bell 407GXPs in January.

Bell Helicopter celebrated the delivery of its 5,000th helicopter—a 407GXP—from its Mirabel, Quebec facility yesterday. The Textron-owned helicopter manufacturer was founded in 1935 and established its Mirabel facility in 1986. It is the assembly and delivery site of the majority of Bell's commercial helicopters, including the 505, 429, 412EPI and 407GXP.
