I'm a frequent flyer, mostly connected to multiplayer, mainly focused on flying military planes, especially fighter jets. I like joining in group flights and sometimes be controlled by ATCs. | I'm a frequent flyer, mostly connected to multiplayer, mainly focused on flying military planes, especially fighter jets.

I'm CEO of [[The Northern-Italy ATC Controlled Area (NIATCA)]], regular ATC at LIPA, LIPQ, [[ETAR]], [[KLSV]], EGUL/EGUN, EGVA and EGOD (for [http://www.fguk.eu FGUK]). I'm the creator of many custom sceneries, most of them under development. To name some of them: LIPA - [[Aviano Air Base]], ETAR - [[Ramstein Air Base]], EGVA - [[RAF Fairford]] FJDG - [[FJDG| Diego Garcia NSF]]. | I'm CEO of [[The Northern-Italy ATC Controlled Area (NIATCA)]], regular ATC at LIPA, LIPQ, [[ETAR]], [[KLSV]], EGUL/EGUN, EGVA and EGOD (for [http://www.fguk.eu FGUK]).

To name some of them: LIPA - [[Aviano Air Base]], ETAR - [[Ramstein Air Base]], EGVA - [[RAF Fairford]] FJDG - [[FJDG| Diego Garcia NSF]]. For more than a year now, but especially in the past months I've been working with {usr|it0uchpods} on a general upgrade of the military versions of the Boeing 707, mainly the 707TT tanker variant. The project is called KC-137R (AATARS= Advanced Ait-To-Air Refueling System), based on the real-life KC-135R Stratotanker with some additional improvements. | ||
My first flight simulator (believe it or not) was [https://support.google.com/earth/topic/4386088?hl=en&ref_topic=4363295 the flight sim on Google Earth], then I tried a MB-339PAN simulator in a fair and I acquired interest in aviation. Since then I started searching a free flight simulator to use on PC and perchance I found FG and immediately decided to use it. When I have the chance, I am also a plane spotter of any type of aircraft I see. | My first flight simulator (believe it or not) was [https://support.google.com/earth/topic/4386088?hl=en&ref_topic=4363295 the flight sim on Google Earth], then I tried a MB-339PAN simulator in a fair and I acquired interest in aviation.

Usually I don't fly a lot during Autumn-Winter-Spring period due to school and studies (except on free time and when I've got holidays) but I keep being in the air when I can. In the past I was frequent ATC but due to PC issues I'm not doing the task fro a while; also I really prefer flying than looking at other people doing it and attempting to control them, with all my respect to ATCs who perform their work fine. In Summer I dedicate a lot more time to FlightGear when I'm not in the outdoors or on holiday by the sea. ;) | Usually I don't fly a lot during Autumn-Winter-Spring period due to school and studies (except on free time and when I've got holidays) but I keep being in the air when I can.

I use a lot the forums | I use a lot the FG-related forums, voice comms (like Mumble and Teamspeak) and the Wiki where I enjoy reading and writing topics, sharing my experiences and learn new stuff. I'm also an active Google+, Instagram and Twitter user, sharing my screenshots, recent news and other. | ||
