Duncan Aviation Delivers Updated Falcon
900EX EASy
Duncan Aviation's teams
in Battle Creek, Michigan,
recently delivered a Falcon
900EX EASy complete with
new paint, interior and a
Collins Aerospace CMS Venue
upgrade. The aircraft was also
the make/model STC launch aircraft for the ACA Ionization system.
The customer loved the look and feel of their Falcon 7X and wanted
a Falcon 900EX EASy that was identical. " When the customers came
me with their 7X, they really liked the overall design, color palette,
and feel of their 7X interior, " said lead designer Emily Krawzcak.
" The only thing they really wanted to change was the original carpet
because it didn't fit with the rest of the interior. " The overall design
is clean and masculine with a lot of leather and dark, heavily grained
veneer, mixed with textures to soften the overall space. The interior
is highlighted by plated tambour doors in the galley, embossed lower
sidewalls, custom seats, frosted galley doors and plated trim. In
addition to the carpet, pillows and credenza pad fabric were updated.
Krawczak said, " Those details will be updated in their 7X, too, so the
two aircraft will be mostly identical. " New exterior paint matches
the 7X, with a Matterhorn white base and gold and navy stripes.

The Av8 Group Forms
Specialized Unit For Phenom
100 and 300 Aircraft Sales
The Av8 Group has formed a specialized unit, Av8
Aviation, which will focus on Embraer Phenom 100
and 300 aircraft sales. The company will draw on
the many synergies they have developed with their
exclusive Phenom 100 and 300 Fixed Price Landing
Gear Overhaul program, as well as the experience of
their veteran management team. All aircraft offered
have extensively documented histories and feature
a limited warranty on work performed during the
Av8 upgrade. The company has successfully put two
Phenom 100s, SN 239 and SN 135, through their process,
including acquisition, refurbishment and sale
earlier in 2021. " The two aircraft that went through
the Av8 Aviation process this year really proved to us
there is a need for high quality pre-owned aircraft.
This means more than just some interior freshening
and some paint, " said Yoel Arnoni, CEO, The Av8
Group.
