Every Uninspected
Aircraft Hides
Something.
High-net-worth buyers lose millions annually on aircraft with undisclosed maintenance histories, lien issues, and airworthiness gaps. Blackwing exists to prevent that
Rafael Felix
With over two decades in aviation, I’ve worked across rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms — from corporate turboprops to ultra-long-range business jets. Holding both FAA A&P and Inspection Authorization credentials, I don’t just advise clients on aircraft decisions: I have the legal authority and technical knowledge to inspect, certify, and sign off on airworthiness.
Blackwing Aviation was founded on one principle: that high-net-worth aircraft buyers and owners deserve access to the same institutional-grade oversight that major operators receive — without the conflicts of interest that come from broker-tied advisors.
Whether you’re acquiring your first jet or auditing your third, you deserve an advisor who’s answered to the FAA and held airworthiness responsibility firsthand.
