A proud tradition

Flying the Beechcraft King Air 350i

Some aircraft don’t merely carve a niche for themselves, they create a legacy. This comes about through the successful mating of a quality airframe and powerplant, through sound design philosophy and through longevity. The King Air range is very much one such aircraft with more than 7,300 of its many variants taking to the skies over more than 50 Years.

Standing tall

The first King Air was introduced in 1964, back when Sir Robert Menzies was the Prime Minister and The Beatles were on tour in Australia. From its genesis as the smaller Model 65-90, the twin turboprop King Air has grown in both dimensions and reputation. Through the highly successful 200 series, which was originally known as the Super King Air, the aircraft was ultimately developed into the 350 and to date over 1,200 of the model have been Built.
