About Marco

Hello there! My name is Marco, and I’m delighted you’ve "landed" on my profile. 👋 I’m 44 years young and currently serve as the Managing Director for a local food retailer. While my professional life is on the ground, my passion is absolutely in the sky! My Flying Story I currently live in Lisbon and have gained extensive experience flying across England, Hungary, and Germany, having lived in those regions for several years. This background means I'm comfortable navigating diverse European airspace. I use my own aircraft for efficient, cross-border trips or for unforgettable day trips and excursions with my daughters. I log around 80 hours a year, sometimes flying for professional trips when I want to save valuable time and avoid traffic. The Aircraft: The "Sports Car of the Skies" You’ll be flying in my beloved 1970 Mooney M20F Executive 21 – truly the sports car of the skies! Speed & Efficiency: She cruises at a speedy 155 knots (almost 280 km/h), making her the perfect touring aircraft for fast, long-distance journeys across Europe. Maintenance: My Mooney is in immaculate condition and has been maintained by the same German facility for the last 30 years, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability. The Experience I Offer I genuinely love sharing my passion. During our flight, I’d be happy to explain the fundamentals of flying, let you participate in the detailed pre-flight checks (PreCheck), and answer any questions you have about aviation. Join me for a unique aerial adventure – let's explore Europe from above!
