Old Guys & Their Airplanes: Claude Hone
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.

The 696 interview and article is great. It was an honor to be able to listen and watch it. Tremendous amount of great information and history.
Please do more. How about interviewing my friend, WIlliam Holden, who was a Navy ACE on one flight in WW II in a Hellcat. He is still very active and fun.

Really enjoyed your site, and especially my Uncle Claude Hone’s interview. I’m so glad he is able to share his WWII flying experience this way. Thank you!
