Marauder Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Peter! I think your Swiss watch replacement has arrived! They wouldn't hold a seminar at Oshkosh if it wasn't real, right? We expect a pilot's report in August! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSMooniac Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Haven't they been saying that for 2 years already?Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Haven't they been saying that for 2 years already?Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk I think this time it might be different. Unless, their marketing communication director has been tipping the bottle during the creation of the seminar agenda, it really sounds like they have a product. Again, it could be creative wordsmithing to draw the masses in only to crush them with reality.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsengle Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Let's hope so. I was disheartened when my avionics guy said he had it on good authority that it was dead....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmet Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Do they really think anybody buys a new product of them after their latest repair announcements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackn Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Not happy(to say the least about their repair policy), but I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LANCECASPER Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I hate to burst the bubble, but here's what was on the schedule for Friday July 29, 2016 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 No need to rush... Oshkosh reliably occurs every year. 1) there will be some fluff... 2) there will be some projects that get announced... 3) there will be plenty of smoke, accompanied by several mirrors... 4) products that are on time get delivered at SNF... 5) products that are troubled, sneak onto the big stage that is Oshkosh... 6) How's that KSN project going? 7) who is Ed King? Avidyne and Garmin need some competition... Best regards, -a- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we were all wondering what announcement was coming out about the G5. Now we know. "Newly released Garmin G5 King KI 300" Hey, if you are going to outsource development to someone, don't go third class. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browncbr1 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 They just put the description in there to get people to come... Then, once everyone is in the tent, they will start selling time shares.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you sit through the time share pitch you'll get a 10% off coupon for the next time a piece of your King gear needs to be repaired.

I just hope Ed King didn't rise from his grave. He wouldn't be too happy what happened to his company. Wonder if it is his son? http://www.intelligent-aerospace.com/articles/2012/06/ed-king-obituary.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I would buy that Ed King's products, and I would buy Chris King's products, but I would not buy King avionics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
