Duncan Aviation has promoted Shawn Andrews to the post of Airframe Manager at the Battle Creek, Michigan facility. Andrews brings with him a wealth of experience, education, and enthusiasm. Prior to this, he worked for the FAA and the Department of Defense as a contract maintenance tech and onboard flight mechanic for Hawker 800s. In the ensuing 27 years, Andrews has worked through positions as second-shift supervisor, team leader, and assistant manager of the airframe department.

On his promotion, Andrews said, “During my 18 years as a team leader in the Falcon program at Duncan Aviation, I’m quite proud of how our team handled the various challenges that came our way. We installed the first set of API Winglets on a Falcon, and we’ve undertaken numerous projects equally as challenging ever since. I love the airframe department, and from the day I was hired in 1995 until today, I’ve never worked anywhere else. I’ve spent years building teams, building relationships, and learning the various airframes, and if I don’t know all of the answers, I know where to find them.”
