Hopefully third time’s the charm for this event and we will be able to hold the King Air Gathering that unfortunately had to be rescheduled twice due to health concerns with COVID. If you haven’t already registered, there is still time to do so. The King Air Gathering (KAG) is being held May 12-15 at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum adjacent to the Tullahoma, Tennessee, Regional Airport (THA).
If you arrive early enough Thursday, May 12, starting at 1 p.m. and running every hour until 5 p.m., there will be guided museum tours from “special” tour guides – four people who have personal knowledge of Beechcraft history. That evening enjoy meeting other King Air owners and pilots at a Welcome Cocktail Reception sponsored by Blackhawk Aerospace with heavy hors d’oeuvres provided compliments of the King Air Academy.
Friday and Saturday will be filled with educational seminars including informational insight from NTSB and Beechcraft air safety investigators, pilot operations, maintenance intel and a look at the history of the King Air. Breakout sessions will focus on avionics, tips for pilots
using EFBs with ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot, and technical topics regarding King Air engines or autopilots.
There will also be time to meet with King Air-specific vendors who will have exhibits in the conference area for face to face time during breaks.
Friday night will commence with the inaugural “King Air Hall of Fame” awards followed by cocktails and Nashville barbecue cooked on the premises with local entertainment hosted by Stevens Aerospace & Defense Systems. You won’t want to miss celebrating those who helped make the King Air what it is today while enjoying the tastes and sounds of Nashville.
