AVIATION LEGENDS
SALINAS — California International Airshow has announced that John and Martha King will appear at this year’s show. For over 50 years, King Schools has delivered millions of courses on pilot training. Through their engaging video instruction, the Kings have taught more pilots than anyone in the history of aviation, helping to educate more than half of the pilots learning to fly in the United States. Over the years, the Kings have retained their enthusiasm for flying. They continue to fly their own Dassault Falcon 10 Jet wherever they go, swapping captain and copilot duties on each leg. They have flown as pilots in every continent of the world except Antarctica. Fans will have an opportunity to meet these aviation legends on Sept 28-29 during the 2024 Salinas Airshow at Salinas Airport. Visit salinasairshow.com for more information.
