Cesare Voglini of Allesandria, Italy (Email: illegno@iol.it) sent us the following photos of I-CBIE, which was named for Carla Bielli) which he once owned. Cesare has owned Falco I-RALA, Picchio F.15 I-PICC and Pegaso F.20 I-CBIE. Says Cesare, "For me, it's a real passion, my daughter learned to fly in it. Unfortunately, the Pegaso was destroyed in November 1994 because of a flood. It was awful for me because I made it perfect with the most modern navigation instruments and with a very nice 'make up'. I loved it."
