Five Reasons To Register for King Air Gathering
by MeLinda Schnyder
There’s only one King Air Gathering
The annual King Air Gathering is the only event of its kind dedicated to the Beechcraft King Air. Owners, operators, pilots, trainers, maintenance providers, FBOs, manufacturers and other industry folk gather in an intimate setting for learning, networking and socializing opportunities. KAG’s focus, size and format make this truly a gathering rather than a typical trade show. Past participants say the excellent return on investment delivers immediate camaraderie plus long- term relationships among the King Air community.
Registration (kingairnation.com/gathering-2025) is $999 plus online fees for each participant or companion. This includes meals, cocktail hours, transportation for KAG events and all activities on the agenda unless an extra fee is noted. KAG has negotiated room rates starting
at $289/night plus fees and taxes at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown as well as no landing, ramp or other fees at Cutter Aviation PHX with a fuel purchase of at least 40 gallons.
Access to King Air experts
The one-of-a-kind KAG offers unprecedented access to King Air experts. This year’s itinerary includes several sessions by two King Air Hall of Famers: BeechMedic LLC owner Dean Benedict, whose “Maintenance Tip” column is found in this magazine every other month, and Tom Clements, author of “The King Air Book” and “The King Air Book II.”
Others speaking and presenting: Peter Basile, senior air safety investigator at Textron Aviation; Zach Cleaver, senior instructor at King Air Academy; Millicent
