01 Welcome
Investing in our skies & people.
Black Sky Bravo is an operator-led aviation investment co. acquiring mission-critical operators, low-mid market businesses with momentum + defensible moats and overlooked potential.
The only aviation fund run by people who've actually run aviation companies.
02 About
We're not financiers playing in aviation; we’re founder operators deploying capital.
Black Sky Bravo is the operator-led aviation investment platform acquiring lower-middle-market businesses where regulatory complexity, succession pressure, and capital scarcity create asymmetric opportunities invisible to generalist investors.
We're Insiders
Deep work on airframes, certificates, and client books, not just spreadsheets. Quiet, relationship-driven access to opportunities that are rarely public.
Our Positions
Acquire majoroity positions in lower middle-market aviation businesses: MRO, parts, training, special mission, compliance tech, or parts mfgs.
Legacy Centric
Founders ready to transition or recapitalize without losing what they built. If it flies quietly and performs, we want to chat.

Operators at every altitude.
We've sat in the cockpit, managed the hangars, and navigated the FSDOs. Generalist capital can't replicate our passion or experience as operators.
03 The Opportunity
The 2025 to 2030 window is open.
It won’t wait. 10,000 aviation business owners turn 65 daily through 2030. Valuations sit 20 to 40% below peak. An 18-month FAA certificate backlog creates arbitrage. Regional banks are retreating. Pilot shortages are driving training demand through the roof. This is demography, not hype. And the window has a closing date.

04 Partner With Us
Our Investors.
You've seen blind-pool aviation funds run by generalists who can't tell a Part 135 from a Part 145. That's not this. Our SPV-first model lets you evaluate each asset individually: full diligence, clear thesis, transparent economics. You see the asset, the plan, and the exit before committing a dollar. We eat our own cooking.
For Owners.
You built something that matters. A Part 145 shop. A flight school. A charter operation held together by your name on the certificate. Now succession is here, capital is tight, and FAA mandates keep stacking. We've managed fleets, passed audits, and held the yoke. Let's talk, operator to operator.
05 Field Notes
From the cockpit, not the corner office.
Analysis, intelligence, and operator-level perspective on the forces reshaping lower-middle-market aviation: succession dynamics, regulatory shifts, valuation dislocations, and the technology that separates scaled platforms from fragmented shops.
