According to an article I found online, the French started the "ace" reference after one of their pilots had 5 confirmed kills. The Germans began using the term, but the requirement was 8 confirmed kills.

I'm pretty sure and ace refers to 5 kills.

In the US Air Force the number's five.

5.
But that harps back to WW1.
Nowadays a pilot equivalent experience probably wouldn't need as many, but the number of 5 remains.
