We are drawing closer and closer to the 2025 King Air Gathering! Today, we would like to highlight a handful of items that are going to be featured in the event's live auction on Friday, March 21st. The auction night will also host dinner and awards.
BLR Aerospace is donating two exciting items for this year's event both to be installed by Haven Aero Services Group. First is a winglet system pair that will reduce drag and fuel consumption by 5% or more and distinguish your King Air in the hangar. This item has a retail value of $99,950.00.
BLR is also donating a pair of their Whisper Prop® propeller system. A five-blade, small diameter, carbon fiber propeller with a natural composite core for superior noise dampening. The propeller, developed in conjunction with MT-Propeller, uses advanced computer design to achieve light weight and extended blade life. The props also feature a durable nickel leading edge to protect against damage. In the unusual event that the blade is damaged, The Whisper Prop® is an easy in-field repair decreasing expensive aircraft down time. This item has a retail value of $133,400.00-$176,550.00 depending on the model, 5-blade configuration only (either 90, 200 and 300-series).
Raisbeck Engineering and Aircraft Turbineworks are teaming up to provide the auction with Dual Aft Body Strakes. These Raisbeck strakes replace the ventral fin on your King Air to provide enhanced handling and stability, better ride quality, and decreased drag. Labor hours for the strakes installation are provided by Aircraft Turbineworks at their facility in Ft. Pierce, Florida. This item has a retail value of $29,500.00 plus $5000 for installation labor hours.
Luma Technologies is donating a pair of upgraded LED display panels to make monitoring your King Air easier. These panels feature warning and caution lights with a matching gear status light. This item has a retail value of $16,000-24,000.00 depending on the model.
