UAL041 Samuel Sculerati
Re: Pilot Introduction Thread
Callsign: UAL511
Name: Samuel Sculerati
Age: 20
Birthplace: An Air Force Base in California (that's about as specific as I would like to be on an open forum)
Current Location: Tampa, Florida
Hobbies: Aviation, autocross racing with my Audi, scuba diving,
Occupation: Unemployed (not for long hopefully)
Interesting facts: Grew up in Fairfax County, VA just 10 mins from KIAD. My grandfather is a retired United Airlines employee so when I flew out to Chicago to see him each year I usually flew on a UAL flight. Between my grandfather working for UAL and KIAD (my former home airport) being one of their hubs I have always been a fan of United (until they merged with Continental).
Spent 3 years as a volunteer with my sheriff's office and accumulated over 1500 hours riding along with the patrol deputies. I loved it so much that I left college to go to the police academy. I have since graduated from the police academy and looking to get hired with an agency.
I'm also a S1 controller (soon to be S2 hopefully) at the Miami ARTCC so if you see me working an airport down there (KTPA, KMIA, and KRSW are my favorite) come say hi.
