Ride On Kings' Falcon 10 With Friends!
The Lindbergh Foundation told ANN this week of a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for pilots and aviation enthusiasts
nationwide. In connection with the Foundation's 30th annual
Lindbergh Award Celebration, a silent auction will be held for a
dream-day with John and Martha King, founders of King Schools,
Inc.
Erik Lindbergh tells ANN the winning bidder for the auction --

Celebration in St. Paul, MN on May 16 -- will get:
- A walk-around preflight inspection of the King Schools
Falcon 10 jet, led by John and Martha King, followed by,
- A flight for you and five of your friends around the San Diego
area with the renowned duo at the controls, after which
- The famous Kings will personally guide your group on a tour of
the King Schools facilities at MYF, complete with some "on camera"
time for you in their studios (with a takeaway DVD for bragging
rights).
