$15 to $18 million each, after getting these 5 helicopters, BD will have 14 units of this Mi171sh version

orange's duty is orange, apple's duty is apple. if you do not have apple does not mean you should not have orange

But don't you think if one does not have Apples than there can be serious Health Hazards?? I know that Apples are costly but only a right mix of diet makes a Healthy man........how long can one survive on ORANGES or FISH???
