Congratulations to Robinson Helicopter Company on the 5,000th R44! Its ubiquitousness is one of the main reasons we train exclusively on the R44 at UND Aerospace. That experience continues to take our graduate to higher places 🚁

Robinson Helicopter Company has sold its 5,000th R44 Raven II, marking a major milestone for one of the most widely flown light civil helicopters in the world.

The aircraft was purchased by Robinson dealer ARICA in Ecuador. Since the first R44 delivery in 1993, the model has been relied on by operators in more than 100 countries for training, agricultural work, utility missions, and private use.

“Delivering the 5,000th R44 Raven II reflects the enduring trust operators around the world place in Robinson,” said David Smith, President and CEO of Robinson Helicopter Company.

“The R44 remains the most widely sold and flown light civil helicopter on the planet because it delivers unmatched reliability, low direct operating costs, and multi-mission versatility.”
