Yeah, it's a pretty small, small industry. So McDermott, in fact, that machine, that picture used to be a Mustang machine. That's the one I actually flew, did my training on here just not too long ago. The one on the left? Yeah, on the left. So that's Mustang owned to 214. There are 70 built originally by Bell. I think there's... I should know the number. Less than 20 left.

They abuse the shit on there. There's just a torque machine, right? And they've crashed a lot of them. McDermott owns all of them. I think there's three in Canada right now, one in the US, and I think South Korea has two. But anyway, Mustang owned that one and sold it to McDermott. And that was kind of...

Yes. It's a tricky industry because it's a lot of investment in money and time. Oh, yeah. It's not cheap. And then it's a catch-22.
