If you arrive early enough Thurs- day, 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 knowl- edge 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 compli- ments of the King Air Academy.
Friday and Saturday will be filled with educational seminars including informational insight from NTSB and Beechcraft air safety investiga- tors, pilot operations, maintenance intel and a look at the history of the King Air. Breakout sessions will focus on avionics, tips for pilots

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).
