Crimson Edition King Air unveiled

WICHITA, Kansas — Textron Aviation has unveiled a special edition 60th anniversary option for the Beechcraft King Air 260 and 360 turboprops.

The order book is open for the new Crimson Edition King Air, which features a new interior and a red and silver exterior paint scheme. Deliveries will begin in 2025, according to company officials.

One of the first noticeable attributes of the new special edition King Air is the iconic Beechcraft “B” on the aircraft’s tail, according to company officials. The exterior showcases a metallic-like crimson, silver, and black paint scheme.

The special-edition interior integrates a number of Beechcraft elements, like the familiar “B” logo on lower sidewalls and the aft cabin bulkhead panel. The leather seats feature Alcantara accent panels and crimson accent piping, while charcoal carpeting is highlighted by crimson arcs that complement the aircraft’s exterior striping, company officials noted.

More than 7,800 King Airs have been delivered to customers around the world since 1964. The worldwide fleet has surpassed 64 million flight hours in its 60 years, according to company officials.
