"I'm Amazed At The Kind Of Work That You Do Here..."
The Governor of California, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, visited Robinson Helicopter Company on one of the
last days of his campaign tour. RHC was chosen to host the Governor
based on the leadership role the company holds in aviation and the
positive effects it has on the aerospace industry in
California.
Schwarzenegger arrived at RHC and was guided by Frank Robinson
on a tour of the manufacturing facility. The tour began with a look
into the newly built 220,000 square foot building, which primarily
manufactures helicopter parts using state-of-the-art machines.
Frank then showed the Governor the east building, walking through
sub-assembly, inspection, electrical, and the final assembly
line.
Frank explained the parts and procedures that take place in each
department and answered Schwarzenegger’s questions pertaining
to the company, sales statistics, and international distribution.
The Governor stopped several times along the tour to greet
employees and inquire about the work taking place. At the
conclusion of the tour, the employees were invited to listen to a
short speech given by the Governor.
Speaking to approximately 1,200 employees in the Flight Test
Hangar, the Governor told the audience, “I'm amazed at the
kind of work that you do here. Each one of the stations that you
just took me to, the detailed work that you have to do, and the
kind of responsibility that you have to make sure that…
those things fly. It's really amazing when you think about
it.”
Schwarzenegger then praised the company for “employing so
many people…this is what I call the backbone of our economy
here in California.”
