Farming family takes to skies By Wally KennedyKingsley uses the latest technology. A computer-satellite linkup keeps him on the right bearing when flying over a field so that he goes over a different 50-foot swath with each pass.
"It lines you up with no overlapping. It's very precise," he said. "It's a $100,000 unit. I don't know how the old guys did it by eye." Darlene Kingsley, who runs the office side, said their business is soaring. A new office and other buildings will be constructed soon at Kingsley Field. One of the brothers, Kevin Kingsley, has struck out on his own. The other brother, Kaland, flies, and the Kingsleys have brought on board a new pilot, David Baker, of Eudora, Ark. "I can remember when flying was special. We used to say; 'Oh wow, we're getting to fly today!' Now it's, we're going to work," she said. But one of the Kingsley brothers, Kaleb, wants no part of the flying. "I haven't got the stomach for it," he said. Wally Kennedy writes for The Joplin (Mo.) Globe.
