The King Air 300 is an updated version of the successful B200 series, and it itself was replaced by the further improved King Air 350, which ushered in a whole new era for this long running and profitable line.
Designs for improvements to the established success that were known as The King Air began on August 1981 with flight testing following 14 months later in October 1982. Improvements included more powerful PT6A60A turboprops replacing 42-series turbines from previous models – one significant change that helped usher in a whole new age of air travel possibilities.
