Martha King honored by First Flight Centennial Commission as one of 100 Aviation Heroes

On Dec 16, 2003 at Kitty Hawk, Martha King was honored by the First Flight Centennial Commission as one of 100 Distinguished Aviation Heroes in the first century of flight. Among those honored with Martha were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Chuck Yeager, John Glenn, and Patty Wagstaff. Martha King and her husband John are the first couple to hold every category and class of FAA pilot and instructor certificates, and Martha is the first and only woman to achieve this complete ratings sweep. She was also appointed by President Clinton to the First Flight Centennial Federal Advisory Board. In the early 1970s, John and Martha King decided to teach flying to mark time while looking for a serious business. Originally the Kings launched their business out of a spare bedroom in their house. Today their company, King Schools, Inc., operates out of an 18,000-square-foot complex that includes a dedicated television and software production facility. Over the last 28 years, King Schools (http://www.kingschools.com?sco=WB&scu...) has delivered more than five million videotapes, CD-ROMs and DVDs, containing more than eight million hours of video instruction.
