JL Aerospace started out in 2018, as a kind of side hustle for Josh O'Connor. As job circumstances changed, and the clear need for better maintenance services for South Central Montana became apparent, the business began to grow into what it is today: a premier aircraft maintenance provider serving South Central Montana. JL Aerospace serves airport locations from Laurel, MT to Deer Lodge, MT and everywhere in between. Josh O'Connor is a rated A&P mechanic with IA with 10 years experience in the aviation maintenance industry. He is also a rated fixed wing pilot with CMEL, CSEL, and Instrument. He holds a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Science, and is very close to completing a Master's degree in Aeronautics with concentrations in Adult Aviation Education and Aviation Management. Josh has significant experience in multiple sides of the aviation industry, covering operations under 8 FAA parts, from Part 133 and Part 137 helicopter operations, to Part 135 charter operations and everything General Aviation. His 6 years experience as a mobile field mechanic has uniquely suited him to the mobile nature of JL Aerospace. He also has been involved in both Part 141 and Part 147 operations, and one day hopes to run a Part 147 school.
