COLUMBUS, Miss.(WCBI)- Representative Martha Roby of Alabama’s Second Congressional District tours the Airbus facility in Columbus.

That’s where the U. S. Army’s UH-72A Lakota Helicopters are produced.

As a congressional representative for the region around Fort Rucker and member of the House Appropriations Committee, Roby has pledged support for men and women in uniform, and for the Lakota, the primary training helicopter that’s Mississippi-built.

“I’m going to continue my work on behalf of the military families that I represent to ensure that we are providing them with what they need. And this is a huge component to that in our ability to train the best,” said Congressional Representative Martha Roby/Alabama.

Already 20 of the UH-72A Lakota Helicopters have been shipped to Fort Rucker.
