Both Tonet and Carlo are licensed private pilots. Flying was a childhood dream for both of them.
Tonet, the Dad, learned to fly in 2003. He completed his instrument training and took a basic aerobatic course (and loved it!). Tonet has 500 hours logged in Cessnas and in the Bellanca Decathlon aerobatic airplane. He lives in Bangkok and travels too much in his job, which unhappily constricts his flying opportunities.
Carlo, the son, finished his flight training in June, 2007, while still in college at the Ateneo. Airplanes have fascinated him all his life (he was born the year Top Gun premiered). Carlo now teaches English to two hundred 18-year old girls at a school in Manila. This constricts his flying opportunities. But he is not so unhappy about that.
As father and son, they take turns flying RP-C1513, a Cessna 152 based in the Philippines.
Carlo aspires to become Captain of the Federation Starship Enterprise, one day.
When Tonet grows up, he wants to retire and fly to the beach, every day
