Duncan Aviation has delivered its first complete Gulfstream G650ER paint project delivered from its full-service maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility in Lincoln, Nebraska. The aircraft was delivered with new, custom exterior paint and minor maintenance work.
The owner of the aircraft was already familiar with the quality work completed by Duncan Aviation. Having had a Gulfstream G550 painted at Duncan Aviation in Battle Creek, Michigan, years ago, they didn’t hesitate returning to Duncan Aviation to have their Gulfstream G650ER painted.
Duncan Aviation Completions Sales Rep George Bajo explained that once the customer upgraded to the G650ER, he wanted the exterior to match his personal taste.
“The client had a positive experience with us the first time around,” said Bajo. “So, when it came time to add his personal touch to the new aircraft, he trusted we would do exceptional work again and we did just that. It was an overall great experience.”
The new, custom paint scheme on the aircraft mimics the previous scheme the customer had on their G550, and is highlighted by an off-white base and more complex stripes compared to the typical paint on a Gulfstream.
Bajo said the client was wonderful to work with and was very decisive during the entire project.
“They trusted us and had a great experience,” said Bajo. “So much in the industry is based around trust, and I believe that is a major reason why this project went so smoothly. There were no worries. It was just a dream.”
Bajo explained that those in the industry know Duncan Aviation for exceptional paint quality and capabilities.
“We paint more than 200 aircraft a year and are well-known for our other services as well,” said Bajo. “Our stellar reputation and client focus holds consistent at all three of our full-service MRO facilities.”
