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.
what happened?
I KNEW there was a reason I had to get up early today, and I stumbled upon this!!!!!
I’ve been very loosely following the story of Doc ever since he was recovered from China Lake NWC.
VERY WELL DONE, EVERYBODY!!!!!!!! He’s absolutely gorgeous!
Nothing like a radial starting. Army Mos 67B20 and the R 985 was my baby. Good work guys.
Wow
well done to all involved……a great first run
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a quick note to thank you and everyone involved in project “Doc”. A special thank you for making the live feed available of the “Historic” engine start this morning. I appreciate the opportunity to have witnessed history in the making.
Best of luck with everything, waiting for Doc to make his Grand appearance on the aviation scene! It will be fun to watch Doc and Fifi together! Hope all goes smoothly! Keep on Truckin!
A brilliant effort by all concerned!
It now says the video is private, can’t view it…Whats up with that???
It looks like engine #2 was being a little temperamental. Did they sort out what was troubling it? Great job and can’t wait until she is open to the public.
Well done everyone!! I cannot wait to see DOC at Oshkosh. My father flew in 29s from1947-50.and taught school on the remote control gun turret systems on the 29. It is a beautiful airplane, I saw FiFi fly in Clorado back in the 70s and still remember the sight awesome. Best of luck and thank you for getting DOC back into air
