This is the full list of all aces featured in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War as well as where and how to find them. If the player has purchased the aircraft an ace is flying, shooting down that ace will unlock their skin on that aircraft. Shooting down an ace does not unlock a skin if the player does not own the aircraft.
These aces only appear on SP New Game or Free Mission, both of which require completing the game's campaign at least once. In addition, these aces only appear on Normal difficulty or above, and they do not appear on the radar until the player gets close to them.
