✈️ Triple Nickel Aviation

Triple Nickel Aviation is a veteran-founded aviation training and consultation company dedicated to shaping the next generation of aviators. Founded by a former U.S. Air Force officer and inspired by the legacy of the “Triple Nickel” Fighter Squadron at Aviano Air Base, Italy, we bring military-grade discipline, excellence, and purpose into civilian aviation.

Our mission is to mentor and educate pilots at every stage—from their first lesson through advanced ratings—focusing on knowledge, safety, and confidence that lasts well beyond the checkride.

Triple Nickel Aviation currently provides ground training, mentorship, and aviation consultation services under the flexible framework of FAA Part 61. Our programs are designed for pilots who value efficiency, structure, and personal accountability, without the constraints of a traditional flight school model.

Whether you’re preparing for your written exams, refining your aeronautical decision-making, or seeking professional mentorship, we provide the structure and expertise to help you succeed on your aviation journey.

    ✈️ About Alex

    Aviation has been a part of my life from the very beginning. While serving overseas with the U.S. Air Force at Aviano Air Base in Italy, I worked alongside the legendary Triple Nickel Fighter Squadron—the inspiration behind the name of my company. That experience sparked my lifelong passion for flight, discipline, and mentorship.

    After my time in the military, I turned that passion into purpose by founding Triple Nickel Aviation—a veteran-founded company dedicated to delivering structured, results-driven aviation training and consultation services. The mission is simple: to help aspiring and active pilots build real-world knowledge, confidence, and professionalism through focused ground instruction and mentorship.

    Today, Triple Nickel provides high-quality aviation education and consulting designed to help students progress efficiently and safely through their training journey. My focus is on building disciplined, safety-minded aviators who think beyond the checkride—pilots prepared to lead, teach, and fly with integrity.

    Whether I’m mentoring a new student, refining training systems, or guiding future instructors, my goal remains the same: to advance excellence in aviation and create a lasting impact on the next generation of pilots.

    Veteran Founded. Mission Driven. Flight Focused.
