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.
March 26, 1950 saw the first flight of Douglas Aircraft’s troubled A2D Skyshark, developed as part of the T40 program for the US Navy. A string of mechanical issues cast serious doubt on the Skyshark’s reliability, and failure to produce a sound engine for the aircraft led to its termination. There is likely only one extant A2D.
