California flag on its way to Kitty Hawk

World-renowned aviator Martha King, of San Diego, is scheduled to deliver a California flag and a proclamation from Governor Gray Davis to Kitty Hawk, N.C., to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the world’s first powered flight by the Wright brothers.

The flag, which has flown over the California State Capitol, and the proclamation are scheduled to be presented Monday to King on behalf of the Governor by Tal Finney, acting director of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. The presentation will be made at 2 p.m. at the Golden State Museum at 10th and O Streets in Sacramento.

The “50 Flags to Kitty Hawk” initiative is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association in partnership with the National Park Service and the National Association of State Aviation Officials. King and her husband, John, who are the owners of King Schools, the world’s largest producer of aviation training videos and computer software, will depart for Kitty Hawk on May 18 from San Diego, piloting a Falcon 10 jet. After a brief presentation ceremony, the flag and proclamation will be displayed at Kitty Hawk in preparation for the anniversary of the Wright brothers’ flight on Dec. 17, 1903.
