A former customer as well as a former employee, Brian Jansen is back at West Star Aviation to manage its Falcon programme in Tennessee.
Airframe and powerplant license holder Brian Jansen rejoins West Star as Falcon programme manager.

West Star Aviation has appointed Brian Jansen as the new Falcon programme manager at its facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
