In this episode of Nose to Tail, host Patrick Kraus, Managing Director & COO of Jet Midwest, sits down with Milton Aguilera, President/Owner at STAR, to hear how his aviation career started in shipping and receiving and evolved into sales, leadership, and eventually launching his own repair station.

We talk about learning the business through mentors, making the jump from parts to component level MRO, and what it takes to grow capabilities while navigating today’s supply chain constraints. Milton also shares how he approaches hiring and training, and why strong customer service continues to shape the work.
