For 70 years, Duncan Aviation has left its mark on business aviation. To celebrate the company’s 70th anniversary, longtime Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions Representative Doug Roth found a one-of-a-kind way to make that mark visible from the sky.
Doug, who has spent 43 years with Duncan Aviation, climbed into his Sorrell SNS-7 Hiperbipe and flew a carefully planned route over Lincoln, Nebraska, tracing the outline of Duncan Aviation’s 70th anniversary logo. When viewed on FlightAware, the flight path revealed a “70” — a tribute to the company’s history, its people, and the passion for aviation that continues to shape Duncan Aviation’s legacy.
“For 70 years, we’ve left our mark on aviation,” Doug said. “Today, we left it on the sky.”
What began as a fun idea after an instrument recurrency flight became a detailed flight-planning challenge involving Google Earth, GPS waypoints, tower coordination, precise flying, and decades of aviation experience. The result was a first-of-its-kind anniversary flight that perfectly reflects Duncan Aviation’s 2026 anniversary theme: The Passion for Aviation. The Heart of a Family.
