Robinson delivers three R66 Turbine Police helicopters with two more orders confirmed.
 
February 10, 2023, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) Aviation Unit took delivery of its third R66 Police Helicopter, replacing its aging MD 500 fleet. The Aviation Unit’s fleet now consists of three R66 Police Helicopters and one Cessna 182T. Each of the white and green trimmed helicopters is equipped with a fully certified NVG cockpit, an AeroComputers moving map system, a Genesys HeliSAS autopilot, a Technisonic tactical radio and a Wescam MX-10 HD camera system. One of the unit’s R66 Police helicopters will be on display at HAI Heli Expo, Atlanta, March 6-9 (Static Booth #B4048).

In October and December 2022, RHC delivered two new R66 Police Helicopters to Helisul Aviation, the largest operator of single-engine helicopters in Latin America. The helicopters will be used to support the Brazilian Paraná State Police. HeliSul has since placed two more orders for R66 Police Helicopters, which are slotted for delivery this summer.
