by Kim Blonigen
The agenda for the safety-themed King Air Gathering IV (KAG IV), being held Sept. 26-29, 2019, in Fredericksburg, Texas, has come together with an outstanding variety of speakers and topics.
On Thursday, Sept. 26, KAG IV attendees will fly in to Gillespie County Airport (T82) where the Hangar Hotel Conference Center is located right on the field. Hotel check-in and rental car pickup will be available and that evening there will be a welcome cocktail party with drinks and hors d’oeuvres, sponsored by Blackhawk Aerospace, starting at 5:30 p.m.
Friday and Saturday will feature speakers discussing different aspects of aircraft ownership, flying and safety including:
= AOPA President Mark Baker – the State of General Aviation
= Dr. Kenneth Stahl, M.D., FACS – Expectation Bias and Cognitive Activities
= Textron Aviation’s Turboprop Product Support Leader Kim Burton – the company’s commitment to safety and King Air-related hot topics
Holding the King Air Gathering at Gillespie County Airport allows attendees to park their King Airs on the ramp right outside the conference center. Vendors also showcase their products and upgrades, which allows you to walk right outside and check it out during breaks and lunch.
