A Contemporary Aesthetic

We recently completed a Falcon 7X refurbishment at our Battle Creek facility, combining interior upgrades with a scheduled 2C inspection to maximize efficiency and minimize downtime. The project marked the first time this long-time maintenance customer incorporated interior work, resulting in a refreshed, modern cabin tailored to the owner’s evolving style and family needs. The partial refurbishment included new soft goods, refinished cabinetry, and updated design elements that balance contemporary aesthetics with practical reuse of existing features. With warm tones, refined textures, and sleek seating, the updated interior delivers a clean, inviting environment while enhancing comfort and long-term value.
