First-Ever Pink King Air 350i to Bring Awareness and Funds for Breast Cancer
Wheels Up, the revolutionary membership-based private aviation company featured in the October 2014 issue of King Air magazine, has taken delivery of the first-ever one-of-a-kind, pink Beechcraft King Air 350i aircraft to commence its first annual Breast Cancer Awareness initiative. The pink plane will be in service from October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016, in support of raising awareness and funds for the Dubin Breast Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, one of the world’s most renowned and advanced facilities for breast cancer treatment and research.
The special King Air is the 45th aircraft in the Wheels Up fleet. The company took delivery of its first 350i in October 2013, which was part of the largest business aircraft order for twin turboprop aircraft in general aviation history – up to 105 brand new King Air 350i aircraft and Hawker Beechcraft Services as the acting maintenance provider, a deal valued at $1.4 billion.
