Aviation Dinosaurs

The Aviation Dinosaur Club

The Aviation Dinosaur Club was created by Jerry Allan King-Echevarria, founder and chairman of King Aerospace Companies and the former president and owner of Associated Air Center, to highlight the lessons and legacies of some of the early pioneers of the VIP large aircraft segment.

These distinguished individuals include pilots, maintenance professionals, cabin attendants, aircraft outfitters and more. They all supported the heavily modified versions of commercial or transport category aircraft used to fly wealthy, famous (and infamous) and influential people around the world – from presidents, kings and shahs to global business leaders and entertainment industry titans.

The preservation and sharing of the stories and experiences of those admitted into the Aviation Dinosaur Club is of key importance to future aviators. Membership in the Aviation Dinosaur Club is limited to those who have supported these aircraft and their passengers. Jerry King is the sole person to determine membership into the club or organization.
