History[edit]
Duncan Aviation was founded by Donald Duncan in 1956 as a partner in a Beechcraft distributorship in Omaha, Nebraska. By this time, Duncan had already purchased a surplus of government aircraft and sold them for a profit. Duncan continued to sell hundreds of Beechcraft Bonanzas, Travel Airs, Barons and more.[6]
Later in 1963 and 1964, a second facility was opened up at the newly constructed Lincoln Airport, and Duncan Aviation arranged to be a Learjet distributor.[7] Duncan Aviation continued to buy new and used Learjets and sold 450 aircraft.[6]
In 1967, Duncan Aviation decided to move its headquarters to Lincoln Airport where it would stay. Shortly after in 1968, Robert Duncan was elected as president of Duncan Aviation, and Donald Duncan passed away unexpectedly on January 18, 1981, over a decade after. Robert Duncan then became the Chairman of Duncan Aviation.[6]
Duncan Aviation opened its first satellite repair location in Houston, Texas at William P. Hobby Airport in 1985. Today, this network boasts over 25 locations at executive airports across America. Over a ten years later, Duncan Aviation purchases Kal-Aero, a service competitor located in Kalamazoo, Michigan and gave Duncan Aviation two more MRO locations.[8][9][6]
Robert Duncan retired in 2007, leaving Todd Duncan, his son, the spot for Chairman of Duncan Aviation.[6]
