R66 extra photos

[Echo Delta]

In the January 2011 issue of FLYER, we're running a 'first look' feature on the Robinson R66 helicopter written by Sean Brown, Heli Air's MD, who was only the fifth pilot in the world to check out on this much-anticipated five seater.

Here are a few extra photos from Sean from his visit to Robinson's Torrance headquarters.
