\nMinchow, currently manager of completions\/modification sales and airframe and engine service sales in Lincoln, joined the Duncan Aviation team in 1993 as a designer, specializing in paint and interior specifications, after completing his Bachelor\u2019s degree in architecture at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.

Throughout both Alleman and Minchow\u2019s tenure at Duncan Aviation, the industry has changed, with aircraft increasing in size and complexity; however, business aviation is still a relatively small industry where everyone knows everyone else.
\n\u201cThe business aviation industry is a small, tightly knit community. To me, the success of our company and our future role in the business aviation industry is centered around the relationships we have now with our customers, vendors, OEMs and other strategic partners, as well as the new relationships we look forward to building,\u201d says Minchow. <\/p>\n
