Duncan Aviation has delivered a fully refurbished Falcon 2000 with new exterior paint and interior enhancements, cabin management system upgrades and advanced connectivity solutions.
Duncan Aviation, a leading provider of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul services, has delivered a fully refurbished Falcon 2000 with a refreshed exterior paint and a brand-new interior. The project included a range of upgrades and modifications, such as avionics enhancements, cabin management system upgrades, and installation of advanced connectivity solutions.
The interior of the Falcon 2000 underwent a significant transformation to align with the owner’s vision of a modern and contemporary look. The previous interior, characterized by deep browns and solid textures, was replaced with a lighter color palette and unique design elements. One of the standout features of the new interior is the cabinets, which were given a new look using hydrographic finishes. This process, executed with great detail and precision by the team at Duncan Aviation’s facility in Battle Creek, Michigan, resulted in a stunning natural wood appearance.
“To achieve the owner’s vision of a modern interior, we gave the cabinets a new look that can only be achieved through hydrographics,” said Heather Pridemore, Designer, Duncan Aviation. “This process is becoming very desirable and was executed by the team at the Battle Creek facility with great detail and precision, creating a stunning natural wood look. Together, we create new and inspiring designs. This Falcon 2000 turned out beautifully, with so many subtle details, creating a unique masterpiece,” she further added.
To ensure the owner fully appreciated the quality and detail of the finished product, Duncan Aviation provided a hands-on demonstration of the hydrographic application during the design specification process. The owner was impressed and fully on board with the approach, and the team at Battle Creek utilized a mechanized arm to achieve the desired results.
“He became 100% on board,” said Tiffany Buschini, Sales Rep, Duncan Aviation Completions & Modifications. “Battle Creek is using a mechanized arm that makes it possible to dip large monuments. The owner was ecstatic with the result,” she further added.
In addition to the hydrographic finishes, the interior enhancements included unique elements throughout the cabin to provide a personal touch. The lower sidewalls feature hand-tipped leather, while luxury vinyl flooring was installed in the entry and lavatory areas for a high-end look that is easy to maintain. The upholstery team, led by Upholstery Master Specialist Todd Bartholomew, created a custom quilting design with contrasting piping accents, adding further elegance to the interior.
The interior transformation was completed with the installation of a carpet featuring a mixture of gray tones in an organic pattern that runs the length of the cabin. This design not only adds visual interest but also creates a sense of flow and spaciousness within the aircraft.

The exterior of the Falcon 2000 received a simple yet elegant paint scheme. The Duncan Aviation paint team applied wisps of blue and silver stripes to accentuate the length of the aircraft, resulting in a sophisticated and visually appealing appearance. Duncan Aviation credits the success of the project to the collaboration and support of its talented teams. The result is a beautifully transformed Falcon 2000, with attention to detail and subtle touches that make it a unique masterpiece.
