Yesterday, Duncan Aviation team members who are part of the Emerging Leaders United group through United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County read holiday books to students at Campbell Elementary School in Lincoln, Nebraska. After the reading, volunteers were able to send each student home with a new book. This effort is part of United Way's Annual Season of Service and supports their ENGAGE.EMPOWER.GRADUATE initiative.

On Friday, November 8, Duncan Aviation’s Executive VP/COO Andy Richards in Battle Creek, Michigan, was inducted into the 2024 class of the Western Michigan University College of Aviation Hall of Honor in recognition of his contributions to aviation, service to the community, and demonstrated service to the university. The selection committee noted his active support of the College of Aviation. They also noted his engagement with students through outreach initiatives and regular participation in events that foster connections with current students, offering invaluable insights and real-world experience. The committee members remarked on the key role Andy plays in the local community, serving on several boards, including the United Way of South-Central Michigan and the Michigan Business Aviation Association.

Duncan Aviation team members in Battle Creek, Michigan, donated 12 full Thanksgiving meals, complete with a turkey and fixings, to families at Friends of Post-Franklin Elementary school last week! From our family to yours, we hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving! ?? #DuncanAviation #Thanksgiving

This completely overhauled CL-605 showcases a stunning new interior that blends traditional and modern styling. Highlights include all-new soft goods and plating, gray beechwood veneer, quilted seat inserts, and brushed metal accents in the galley. The seats feature contrasting welt cords along the edges and decorative panels that have an intricate "chain link" design of interwoven curves. The galley was heavily modified to make it more user-friendly. The original layout had very little useable counter space, and the cabinet partitions restricted access to the faucet. To address this, our Engineering and Cabinet teams relocated the crystal cabinet farther inboard and up, and removed the lower partitions to open up the counter space. The brushed-metal panels gives the galley a modern but subtle appearance, and still reflects enough light to illuminate the area and prevent it from feeling claustrophobic. #DuncanAviation

Last week, our Kalamazoo, Michigan, FBO had the opportunity to take part in handling a Michigan National Guard deployment charter. "It was an amazing opportunity, and was an honor to be part of this event," said AZO Line Services Team Leader, Matt Stiffler. "It was very similar to a typical charter operation, however it was a Boeing 767 with 246 bags and over 120 people." #DuncanAviation
