Bill Lento got his aviation start in 1998 with the Army.  He was a crew chief on the Apache helicopter. After leaving the Army he worked for the Beechcraft experimental flight test department in Wichita, KS, and later settled into a 20-year career with a local Pilatus Service Center (KCAC).  Bill held several roles at KCAC; maintenance technician / QA inspector / QA manager, and finally over the past four years as the Director of Maintenance. Oh, and might we mention that Bill is FAA certified as an Airframe and Powerplant technician with Inspection Authorization (IA)? Yes, of course…With all this great experience under his belt, we were lucky and proud to welcome Bill into yet another career chapter, as our very own Director of Maintenance and Technical Services!
