LAKELAND, FL – April 2, 2025 – Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC), the world's leading manufacturer of civil helicopters, will exhibit at SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo from April 1-6, 2025, in Lakeland, Florida. At booth NE-13-NE15, Robinson Helicopter will display its mission-ready helicopters, including an R66 Police helicopter operated by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

“Having a robust aviation unit is critical to our mission of keeping people safe,” said Sheriff Grady Judd of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. “Not only is this aircraft a great asset to law enforcement, it also allows us to cost-effectively support and protect our citizens better than other options out there.”

Prospective customers will have the opportunity to inquire about all Robinson products, including the helicopters displayed in the booth, the newest R66 NxG, and the all-new R88. SkyBlue Aviation, an Authorized Robinson Dealer based in Palm Beach County, Florida, will be available to discuss the safety, performance, and reliability of Robinson helicopters.

Booth Highlights:

• Aircraft Displays: Attendees can get an up-close look at the R22 and R44, courtesy of Sky Blue Aviation, and an R66 Police helicopter from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office’s fleet with state-of-the-art technology, including advanced cameras, tactical radios, and night vision compatibility.

• Industry Experts: Robinson Helicopter representatives will be onsite to answer questions about the aircraft, its missions, the latest developments, and more.

• Bird Strike Game Returns: Participants can put Robinson helicopters’ impact-resistant windshields to the test by flinging rubber chickens at them for target accuracy. This game allows players to experience the strength and flexibility of Robinson Helicopter’s signature polycarbonate impact-resistant windshields. Now standard on all R66 aircraft, the window is capable of withstanding a two and a half pound bird at cruising speeds. Take home a chicken of your own when you hit the bullseye.

“SUN ‘n FUN provides a great platform to connect with aviation enthusiasts of all ages to demonstrate the remarkable capabilities, safety features, and durability of our helicopters,” said David Smith, president and CEO of Robinson Helicopter Company. “The spirit of aviation at this event is palpable, and by participating, we continue to strengthen our relationships and showcase our latest product improvements with our network of dealers, service centers, operators, and more.”
