King Air Conquers the Atlantic
A twin-turboprop Beechcraft King Air 350ER has flown nonstop across the Atlantic from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Bournemouth International Airport in the UK as part of its delivery flight from Wichita, Kansas, hometown of manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft. The route over the ocean was the first nonstop transatlantic flight by the type. The record-setting 350ER is the first of four modified, extended-range King Airs ordered by the UK Ministry of Defence for its new Military Flying Training System. It features a large underbelly radome capable of accommodating a number of different maritime surveillance radars. The model has a range of 2,300 nm and 10 hours’ endurance. The Royal Navy will employ it in the rear-crew training role. Meanwhile, the Royal Air Force has received the tenth King Air B200 for the UK’s military multi-engine pilot training program.
