I have been ask to remind everyone that we are nearing the 50th aniversary of King Radio.
A lot of people are searching for ideas for what to do. Personaly I think a small party, a tent, lots of speeches, "old timers" and of course distinguished guests. I will be more than happy to pass on any idesa you may have. Anyone with any ideas and contacts should send them via e-mail to Jeff Darby.

Some of you have ask about the Godaddy hosting, Well I had a hacker get into the main servers. Spybots, trojans etc. they managed to get past Mcafee and the firewall, so what you see is the backup files being hosted on godaddy's serviers until I can rebuild mine.
I created this site to commerate and showcase the original King Radio, However the people are not just King Radio people any more, They have become Honeywell People. Some willing and some not. None the less they still were King Radio people, So I am changing the site. I am making it an employee site. I will continue to focus on the original King Radio. That's where I started and thats where most of us started straight out of School.
Please enjoy the pictures and the information provided, And please email me information, for without the pictures, stories and employee input this site will stagnate and die. And I realy don't want that to happen.
If you were looking for pictures from the old original King Radio avionics company started by Ed King in Olathe Kansas then your here. I hope to have more pictures before mid year. Depends on what I can talk out of the original employees as far as pictures go. Please look over the pictures and let me know if I have the names correct. I am missing pictures of the Brockway plant, so if anyone has any please send me one.
This site is growing, I am adding pictures as fast as I can get them scanned and retouched, I have pictures spanning 40+ years, People from King Radio, Allied Signal and Bendix King, Since I don't have dates on some of the photos, I can't confirm or deny what time period they are from. If you know where and when they were taken, please let me know. For those reading this, If you have stories or not so tall tales to tell about King radio or it's people please email them and I will get them added to the "Employee Stories" link, Just remember to keep it clean.
NOTE: A lot of files on this site are in PDF format so you will need Accrobat 7.0 or higher.
