The company, which is now the world’s leading producer of aviation training videos and computer software, was established in 1974 when John and Martha began flying throughout the country to teach ground school courses. In 1984 they began producing video courses in a spare room of their house. Today, King Schools has over 70 employees operating from an 18,000 sq. ft. complex housing a dedicated video production and duplication facility. In the last 10 years the firm has delivered more than two and a half million videos with over 4 million hours of video instruction, teaching up to one-half of the instrument students and over one-third of all pilots in the U.S. obtaining training. We are keenly aware of the importance of the work we do. During the time someone is learning to fly, flying is the most important thing in his or her life. We are privileged to play such a significant role in the lives of such committed individuals. We take pride in producing quality work for these special people.
