This Eagle Single started life as a twin-engine Bell 212 and flew in the US, Mexico and Colombia before it was purchased by Eagle Copters of Calgary, AB, Canada in Oct. 2004 and became C-FBWU. During 2007, it was converted to an Eagle Single using a company STC which saw a single Honeywell T53-17BCV replacing the P&WC PT6T TwinPac engine and other enhancements made to the structure, avionics and systems. It was registered to Day & Johnston Helic. as C-GWDJ just prior to HAI Heli-Expo 2008. Later sold to Wilderness Helic. in 2011 and exported to Lohman Helicopter in Oregon as N316LH in 2016.

The first production Bell 429 on display at the Bell Helicopter booth for HAI Heli-Expo 2008 held inside the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, Texas. This aircraft was first registered to Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) on Dec. 10, 2007. This 429 is equipped with the original "sled" style landing gear which was changed after Eurocopter sued Bell for patent infringement of its landing gear design first introduced on the EC 120B. This aircraft has been retained by BHTC and was later used to develop and certify the Model 429WLG with tricycle landing gear.
