Ciro is working full time as an Electrical Engineer and is the son of a Sport pilot. He became a Private Pilot as a way of saving precious time when traveling long distances and meeting new places. It turned out, for him, that flying is the best combination of addiction and therapy, the moment he expects anxiously the whole week, and he simply loves to see the happy faces of his passengers as they get off his good old C172N. It was a 10 year journey until he passed his exams, then over 40 hours of taildragger fun until cleared for his first solo flight. Worth every second.
