AeroTV at OSH22: John and Martha King’s New Book

Of Kings and Kingdoms

Founded in 1975 by husband-and-wife flight-instructors John and Martha King, King Schools Inc. is a California-based educational software company to which untold numbers of pilots have turned for aviation courseware and test-prep materials germane to the airman knowledge tests prescribed by FAR 61.35.

In addition to decades of practical experience as pilots and educators, John and Martha King have each been honored with the FAA’s Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award, and inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame, the National Aviation Hall of Fame. That John and Martha’s renown is well earned is as certain as L.A. smog, Seattle rain, Oklahoma tornados, and D.C. vacuity.

Of late, the Kings have been supplementing their expansive and undoubtedly enduring legacy with a number of undertakings certain to be of interest to up-and-coming pilots and burgeoning entrepreneurs.

During EAA’s AirVenture 2022, King Schools CEO Barry Knuttila spoke enthusiastically about Lift, a soon-to-be-released book in which John and Martha King share business-building insights gleaned over 47-years of entrepreneurial hard-knocks and personal perseverance. Lift delves into the means by which the King’s founded their business, guided it through times of unprecedented technical advancement and marketplace upheaval, and ultimately succeeded wildly in a sector of the aviation industry historically looked upon as fallow.

Mr. Knuttila also made mention of the Kings’ dedication to fostering the development and facilitating the certification of pilots and flight-instructors through scholarships, educational materials, and academic incentives.

King Schools, in cooperation with the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) and Women in Aviation International, and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, has created programs by which to edify and inspire not only existing pilots, but high school students interested in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Give a man a plane, and he crashes. Teach a man to fly, and he’ll grow a bad mustache, buy a corvette, and come to look upon King Schools with great affection and admiration.
