Data: FAA Releasable Aircraft Database (registry.faa.gov), snapshot 2026-07-11. Counts reflect US civil aircraft with a valid FAA registration (status codes V, M, and T). Variants of the Bell 407 are grouped into a single model family. Manufacture-year bounds use the 1st and 99th percentiles to exclude data-entry outliers in the FAA year field. Figures update when the registry is re-imported.
