Lt. Colonel John Alex Wellman

Chief Flight Instructor | USAF Retired Command Pilot | Senior Parachute Rigger

John “Alex” Wellman is a retired USAF Command Pilot with over 2,600 hours of flight time in aircraft ranging from F-16 fighter jets to light sport aircraft and gliders. Known for his leadership and instructional expertise, he has served as an instructor, evaluator, and operational planner throughout a distinguished military career.
Alex’s aviation journey began in 1992 in a Cessna 150 with a Civil Air Patrol instructor. To fund his training, he worked at Butler Parachute Systems and earned his Senior Parachute Rigger’s License. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, he instructed cadets in soaring, spin training, and mountain flying.
After completing pilot training at Columbus AFB, Alex transitioned to the F-16 and deployed for Operation Southern Watch, earning the callsign “Mullet” during his first combat mission. His assignments included Cannon AFB, Osan AB, Luke AFB, and Langley AFB, where he served as an instructor and supported MQ-1 Predator operations worldwide.

He holds degrees in Electrical Engineering (USAFA), Aeronautical Sciences (Embry-Riddle), and Strategic Intelligence (DIA), and is a certified Flight Safety Officer specializing in accident analysis and risk management.
