Let’s Support Planes Of Fame Air Museum

By Mike Lambert

In October, 2014, Planes of Fame submitted the necessary paperwork to have their ride program, or “Living Heritage Flight Experience”, reinstated.  After many years with an excellent safety record, the FAA stopped allowing exemption renewals or extensions effectively killing the ride programs for many warbirds that had exemptions expire during the FAA moratorium.  This has been reversed recently with a lot of the previously operating groups such as Collings, EAA, and Yankee Air Museum resuming or continuing their ride programs for hire.  Right now, the petition is currently available at the following link (Click HERE) for public viewing and a show of support.  Please head over to the website and help Planes of Fame restore their ride program to educate the public about the environment that so many of the Greatest Generation endured.

Moreno Aguiari

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.
