This summer, the Italian Air Force Frecce Tricolori embarked on a North American tour, marking the first time since 1992 that their iconic red, white, and green smoke trails have been seen over the United States and Canada. The team visited Canada to honor the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. While in the United States, the Frecce Tricolori performed a flyover of the Italian Navy’s tall ship, Amerigo Vespucci, and conducted flyovers of several major U.S. cities, including a memorable appearance at AirVenture.
Born in Milan, Italy, Moreno moved to the U.S. in 1999 to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. His aviation passion began early, inspired by his uncle, an F-104 Starfighter Crew Chief, and his father, a military traffic controller. Childhood adventures included camping outside military bases and watching planes at Aeroporto Linate. In 1999, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to obtain his commercial pilot license, a move that became permanent. With 24 years in the U.S., he now flies full-time for a Part 91 business aviation company in Atlanta. He is actively involved with the Commemorative Air Force, the D-Day Squadron, and other aviation organizations. He enjoys life with his supportive wife and three wonderful children.
