I live in the south of Brazil, in a city called Porto Alegre, home of VARIG, our main airline. Perhaps you know it, because they fly to almost everywhere in the world.

Anyway, my interest in aviation started since I was born. I remember going to the local flight school with my father and my mother (she was the school's secretary). By the way, this school was the place where they met each other. But that is another story... My uncle also flies. But Boeing 707's, for a cargo company here. (It's in the family...)

In 1980, my father took us to another state, where he started to fly a LearJet 25. This was the moment when I really started to live executive aviation. Now he flies a Falcon 2000, after a Hawker 800 XP and two other LearJet 35's. All great jets!

In my panels you may notice my interest for executive aviation, and I'll keep it as long as I can. Besides, executive aviation is not as explored as I'd like it to in FS98. So, here I am. My work is done with Ulead's PhotoImpact 3.0 SE and PaintShop Pro 5.01, more recently. I think it's important to mention that my work was inspired by two famous FS98 designers: Marc Suxdorf and Ralph Tofflemire. The quality of their jobs push me more and more to improve my technique and desings. Unfortunately, I'm not a gauge designer (yet).

The photo you see here was taken in the company's Hawker 800 XP, during a maintenance flight.

Thanks for you interest, I'll keep doing my best.
