Mark Cote Promoted to VP of Completions and Modifications

April 26, 2006

LINCOLN, NEB. - Duncan Aviation is pleased to announce that Mark Cote has been selected for the position of Vice President of Completions and Modifications for Duncan Aviation's Lincoln, Nebraska, facility. In his new role, Mark will be responsible for the Avionics Line, Avionics Installations and Interior Completions teams.

Mark started with Duncan Aviation in 1988 as an Avionics Technician. In 1995, he moved to the Customer Service team as a Project Manager. Mark's most recent responsibilities have been Program Manager and Project Manager Coordinator.

"Mark's extensive customer service and project management experience will be a great addition to the leadership team in the Lincoln facility's Completions and Modifications areas," says Mark Matthes, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Duncan Aviation-Lincoln.

Duncan Aviation also announces that Dan Buzz, Vice President of Engineering and Modifications, will be relocated to Battle Creek, Michigan, this summer. Dan will continue to lead the engineering teams in both locations while focusing on the growth of the modification production shops in Michigan.

Dan originally hails from Michigan so the relocation will be personally rewarding. Additionally, Duncan Aviation's growth strategy for Battle Creek has created the need for a leader with Dan's experience and knowledge.
