Robinson is celebrating a massive achievement after delivering 13-thousand helicopters on April 23rd.

The milestone helicopter, R44 S/N 14438 was delivered to longtime Robinson dealer SKY Helicopters of Dallas, Texas. S/N 14438 has a brand-new paint scheme and is equipped with the latest in R44 options; a Lithium-ion battery, heated seats, and a 4K cockpit video camera. EAA’s “Project 21” initiative, including the first expansion of the EAA Aviation Center in Oshkosh in more than 20 years, will bring year-round aviation education and training to current and future aviators. Groundbreaking for the two-story, 30,000 square foot facility, connected to the EAA Aviation Museum, took place on Monday, April 26, with EAA and community leaders present. The $6.2 million project, completely funded via a capital campaign separate from EAA member dues, will feature an innovative Pilot Proficiency Center and a hands-on Youth Education Center. The Consumer Technology Association and AUVSI have expressed concern regarding legislation introduced in several states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and West Virginia.
