Tony Curtis has been selected as the Components Repair and Parts & Rotables Sales Manager to replace Keith Schell, who retired in January. Tony’s 30+-year aviation career began in 1990 in the United States Air Force before joining Duncan Aviation in 1997. Starting as an accessory technician, he quickly took on greater responsibilities, working up to landing gear team leader. In 2016, he was promoted to Assistant Manager of Component Repairs, overseeing Duncan Aviation’s aircraft accessory and avionics back shops.
One of the first moves Curtis made was to assemble a leadership team with three Assistant Managers. Cary Prange, Dustin Johnson, and Cody Orth fill those positions.
Cary is the Assistant Manager of our Parts & Rotables Sales, providing daily oversight and leadership to the team that works around the clock offering rotables, loaners, exchanges, outright units, avionics, instruments, accessories, and technical support to aircraft operators worldwide.
Assistant Managers Dustin and Cody lead more than 140 component repair technicians who inspect, install, troubleshoot, service, and repair virtually all avionics and accessories equipment in an aircraft.
