Sky Helicopters, Robinson's long-time dealer in Garland, Texas, has taken delivery of a new electronic news gathering R66 Newscopter, bringing the company's fleet of Robinson Newscopters to 15. The latest addition will provide aerial support to WTTG Fox, WUSA CBS, and WJLA ABC in Washington D.C. Sky also recently placed one of its R44 Newscopters in Tampa, to serve as the eye-in-the-sky for stations WTVT Fox and WFTS ABC. In both instances, the Robinson ENG helicopters replaced older, less economical airframes.

According to Ken Pyatt, president of Sky Helicopters, the turnkey Robinson Newscopters provide an economical aerial platform with state-of-the-art ENG cameras and broadcast equipment. They integrate into TV stations' existing broadcast equipment and are capable of working simultaneously with several stations.

To date, Robinson has delivered 80 Newscopters worldwide including Brazil, Canada, and Australia.
