Available spots are filling up every day for the 2021 King Air Gathering (KAG) being held Sept. 23-26 at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum adjacent to the Tullahoma, Tennessee, Regional Airport (THA). If you are thinking you might like to attend, you may not want to wait much longer to register as space is limited.
If you arrive early enough Thursday, Sept. 23, 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 compliments of the King Air Academy.
Friday and Saturday will be filled with educational seminars including informational insight from the NTSB and Beechcraft air safety investigators, pilot operations, maintenance intel and a look at the history of the King Air. Among the breakout sessions: avionics presentations from Garmin and Collins Aerospace, tips for pilots using EFBs ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot, and a deep technical dive into PT6 engines or a closer look at the various autopilots on the King Air models.
There will also be time to meet with King Air-specific vendors who will have exhibits located 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 with local entertainment all compliments of 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.
