Biography[]
Pre-Series[]
NCIS: Los Angeles Season 6[]
Aiden was a student at Keating Military School in San Francisco, just like his father before him and his grandfather before that. His younger sister also began attending the same school when she became old enough.
Aiden's existence is first referenced in Reign Fall, when Sam describes a military school as similar to where Aiden is. In the next episode, Humbug, Sam mentions to Callen that Aiden is stuck at military training in Virginia and wouldn't be able to come home for the 2014 Christmas holidays. Aiden appears at the end of the episode as Michelle's Christmas present for Sam, bringing news of his promotion to Cadet Sergeant.
NCIS: Los Angeles Season 7[]
Aiden appears in Cancel Christmas, when Sam picks him up from the airport. They make a pit-stop so that Sam can apprehend and arrest some Korean spies. Aiden sees his dad take down a spy and expresses his admiration for his line of work, to which Sam quickly shuts him down and says no to his son's desire to be an agent. Uncle G (as Aiden affectionately calls him) promises Aiden that they will discuss it over Christmas with a smirk.
NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11[]
In Answers, Sam told Callen that Aiden was about to graduate from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12[]
In A Fait Accompli, it's announced that Aiden is attending Flight School and that he will be the first Military Aviator in the family.
In A Tale of Two Igors, Sam tells Callen that Aiden will take his flight test that day, and that it will determine if he continues on the path to fighter jet pilot or if he tracks for transport or refueling. Sam was clearly worried but still managed to joke about the washout rate being 'sky high'.
A little later, a friend of Sam's from the SEAL Teams who is a Naval Aviator, texts Sam the flight plan for Aiden's test. They would be coming south out of Naval Air Station Point Mugu, and they would fly off the coast of San Pedro around 5:00 p.m. Both Sam and Callen were there to watch them fly by.

NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14[]
Aiden reappeared in Dead Stick when the F-35 plane he was test-flying crashed near Ventura. He received minor physical injuries after ejecting himself and was airlifted to Mission West Medical Center near NAS Point Mugu. He also experienced short-term memory loss but regained it by the end of the episode in time to save another test pilot named Lieutenant Keck, call sign Kegger.
It's also revealed that he was given an LOI in 2021 for breaking the sound barrier over the continental USA. Afterward, he was given the call sign "Sonic" by his squadron.
