Gone West: Barbara Robinson of Robinson Helicopter Company

Helped Build Company's Dealer Network

Barbara Robinson 53, Frank Robinson’s wife and a former vice president of Robinson Helicopter Company, passed away on August 13th after a 12 year battle with breast cancer.

"She was primarily responsible for building up our dealer network," Frank Robinson told the South Bay Biz Waves from his vacation home in Washington State. "She handled marketing, sales, all of that."

Barbara began at Robinson Helicopter in 1978. She was instrumental in marketing the newly certificated R22 and developing Robinson’s worldwide dealer network. In 1983 Barbara earned her pilot’s license and became Whirly-Girl #385, that same year she married Frank Robinson, president and founder of Robinson Helicopter. Barbara remained a key figure at the growing company until 1995.
