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.
Your site did not include the total cost of the camp. I am a writer (have a look at my website) and am interested in writing about the experience.
I think magazines like Delta Sky as well as Air & Space Smithsonian might be interested in this.
I fly a Stearman and work in a hangar in KLEX where we have a T-6, PT-19, PT-22, T-34 and L-4.
