Our 2024 Year In Review

ArtCraft Year In Review

As 2024 comes to a close, we can’t help but look back on an incredible year filled with exciting projects, new opportunities, customers that turned into #ArtCraftFam,  and the privilege of working on some of the most remarkable general aviation aircraft.

Come with us as we stroll down memory lane and share some of our favorite memories of 2024. 

Our Biggest Paint Job – A Sikorsky S64F Skycrane Helicopter

Earlier this year, we undertook a massive stripping and re-painting project for the Sikorsky Skycrane. This aircraft is used to lift heavy objects, typically shipping container-sized cargo, so we knew getting this helicopter back out as quickly as possible to minimize downtime was key. 

The customer and our team developed a project plan to ensure we carved out the employee time and space needed. This collaborative approach helped us tackle a project of this magnitude and made sure their team could get it back up and running in their fleet as soon as possible.

Head-Turning Designs and Interiors

This year, we were honored to bring some truly remarkable visions to life—both inside and out. From bold, custom paint schemes that captured attention in the air and at shows, to luxurious, handcrafted interiors that elevated the comfort and style of every flight, 2024 was about turning every aircraft we touched into art. Here are just a few interior and exterior designs that are the talk of the hangar.

Our #ArtCraftFam Continued to Grow

In 2024, we got a double-doss of #ArtCraftFam painting in. 

We painted Jen Watson’s Laser 200, which she uses in aerobatic competitions. Jen and her husband Josh are both pilots and owners of AeroDynamic Aviation®.
