“Bell hosted a delegation from the Kingdom of Bahrain on the occasion of the launch of the production of AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters sold under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. The delegation visited the factory in production of Bell Amarillo to observe the production line and sign the fuselage of the first aircraft to join the Bahraini Air Force in a ceremony, “announced a press release from Bell.
