Thursday: Companion Ground School, Luncheon, and Jewelry Making Party
Companion Ground School: King Air Academy will be hosting a companion ground school training course covering all a flying companion would need to know to be helpful to a pilot when their King Air is on on the ground.
Companion Luncheon: King Air Nation invites you to a companion-only luncheon where you can make new connections and refresh yourself before the afternoon activity.
Jewelry Making Party with Gem Studio: One of Gem Studio expert silversmiths will lead you through a 3-hour workshop where they will help you design and create jewelry from scratch with the same materials that you’d find at your local jeweler. This is a privately hosted companion event in a boutique setting. The event includes concierge service and transportation to the event and then to Cutter FBO following the excursion to join the Gathering at the FBO Dinner on Thursday evening.
Friday: Desert Botanical Garden and Scottsdale Wine Walk Tour
