From the RNPA/retired Northwest Airlines pilot group…..

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We have lost another fine aviator – Richard C. ‘Dick’ Robbins died Friday, February 6, 2026. Currently, we do not have any other details. We do know that Dick was 89 years old – I agree, that itself is hard to believe. He was hired by NWA on October 10, 1964. Dick served for many years as an instructor pilot in the NWA Training Department.

With great regret and respect,

Bill Day
