A 2026 expansion at Duncan Aviation’s sprawling facility in Lincoln, Nebraska — including a new 32,500-square-foot, dual-bay paint hangar from GFS that features upgraded climate controls, energy efficient systems and expanded capabilities — gives the MRO the flexibility to support larger aircraft and create more intricate paint designs.
For more than two decades, the old yet incredibly reliable GFS paint booth at Markquart Auto Body has hummed along. Of course, there have been mechanical problems over the years, and the booth’s motors have been rebuilt. Still, day after day, month after month, year after year, the booth just keeps running.
