Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, he was very active in Angel Flight, and looks forward to being able to fly missions again soon. Now based in Charlotte, NC, Duncan is particularly interested in exploring new places by air, and has visited over 350 airports, in 44 states, provinces, and territories in the U.S. and Canada.
