About me and my passion
A Dream Fulfilled in the Skies
Welcome to my aviation journey! My passion for airplanes and flying took root at a young age, and over the years, it has blossomed into a captivating adventure. Let me take you on a chronologically ordered voyage through the milestones that led me to where I am today – at the helm of a fully operational, full-scale Boeing 737-800 flight deck.
My introduction to flight simulation began around the tender age of seven when my uncle presented us with Flight Simulation 2.0. It was a transformative moment, as I embarked on my virtual aviation exploits, discovering the wonders of flying through the boundless skies. Little did I know that this initial encounter would ignite a lifelong fascination and passion for aviation.

Growing up in Italy, a country renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage, I stumbled upon a captivating commercial that caught my attention – "Imparare a Volare" or "Learn to Fly." This weekly subscription offered a unique opportunity to delve into the foundational concepts of airplane structure, the physics of flying, and instrument navigation. Intrigued by the promise of this program, I eagerly embarked on a journey to deepen my understanding of the intricate world of aviation.

In my early journey of learning to fly, the ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) simulation software from Sublogic played a significant role. Although not as realistic as the advanced simulators available today, the ATP software provided valuable lessons and insights into aviation. It allowed me to familiarize myself with basic flight principles, aircraft controls, and navigation procedures. The experiences gained from the ATP software sparked my passion for aviation and laid the foundation for my ongoing pursuit of becoming a pilot.

From that moment forward, my passion grew exponentially, propelling me to explore every flight simulator platform available at the time. With each new simulator, I honed my skills, delving deeper into the mechanics of flight, mastering navigation techniques, and reveling in the sheer joy of piloting virtual aircraft. But throughout this exhilarating journey, one dream remained steadfast in my mind – to transition from the confines of a keyboard and mouse to a genuine cockpit, a place where I could truly feel the exhilaration of piloting a real plane.
And so, after years of meticulous planning and dedicated saving, that dream has become my reality. Today, I stand before you as the proud owner and creator of a fully operational, full-scale Boeing 737-800 flight deck. Every switch, every gauge, and every control panel has been meticulously crafted and integrated, offering an authentic, immersive experience that rivals the real thing. This flight deck, scale 1:1, represents the culmination of countless hours spent researching, designing, and assembling the components necessary to bring this dream to fruition.
It is with immense pride and joy that I invite you to step into this extraordinary flight deck. Strap yourself in and prepare for an unforgettable journey, where the boundaries between simulation and reality blur. Experience the thrill of takeoffs and landings, navigate through challenging weather conditions, and savor the satisfaction of mastering complex systems – all within the confines of this remarkable flight deck.
Join me as we embark on an adventure that unites passion, technology, and the sheer joy of flight. Together, let us soar to new heights and revel in the wonders of aviation.
Welcome aboard!
