Peter Gray's flight test of the Robinson R66 helicopter - the Californian company's first turbine-powered machine and founder Frank Robinson's last project before he retired - gave us the opportunity to do the HERE'S TO YOU MR ROBINSON coverline.
That aside, the flight test is also a first for Flight International. We had the opportunity to put one of our other journalists, John Croft, in another helicopter alongside the R66 that Peter flew with one of the company's test pilots. It gave us some cracking air-to-air shots and also some great footage for the web, which you can view on flightglobal.com/r66.
