That's why they're called "Robbie Rangers"; spent majority of their time in Robinsons. Bare mins to get their turbine time. Yes, there are other pistons out there or other bare bones cockpit helicopters. And yes, we know that robbies have turbines in them now. Just an aircraft with a very minimal RFM, typically pay lowest because the missions for them are pretty mundane (mostly), and it's the only helicopter that has a safety related FAR that requires a safety course and certain amount of time to be signed off. It's "special". Granted, it's the 2nd most widely produced helicopter in the world after the UH-1 Huey I believe (pretty sure it beat out the 206/407 series and Mi-8/Mi-17 series this past decade). So of course there's a lot of them out there. Don't be so offended... you're just popular😊
