Torrance, California-based Robinson Helicopter recently reached a significant milestone, rolling out its 12,000th helicopter. With international sales being a major percentage of Robinson’s business, it should come as no surprise that the commemorative helicopter, an R66, will be delivered overseas to Hover Dynamics, a Robinson dealer in South Africa. The R66 will eventually enter into service with Fly Karoo Air Services, a charter and tour operator in Graaff-Reinet, a town in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
