"our" Rob Robinette NOT passed away!
« on: August 29, 2021, 11:48:18 pm »
Hello, I'm new to the forum but have been a lurker for awhile. I probably would still be a lurker but the other day I did a search for Rob Robinette's amp mods page and saw that a Rob Robinette had passed away as the result of a motorcycle incident. ...

... I dont know him personally but know that he loves motorcycles as a result of his awesome site. Has anyone else heard anything?

Please no  :sad:
About Rob (robrobinette.com)


-A little searching led me to a picture of our RobRob from the 1981 US Helicopter Team.
-The motorcycle accident story listed the victim as being 48 years old.
-This would mean that Rob would have been 8 years old when he competed on the US Helicopter Team OR the article is about a different Robert Robinette


Helicopter Team (robrobinette.com)


I am saddened by the loss of 48 year old Robert in such a horrific accident. What a nightmare for his family.

I suspect it is another person.  Looks like Rob was active  just a day or two ago on another forum.  https://www.tdpri.com/members/robrob.94211/
