Ciao Dino 

 



It is with deep sadness and great consternation that we must share the passing of our dear member, Dino Quaresimin. Dino was an unparalleled aviation enthusiast and a devoted friend to us all.

Dino was not just an aviation enthusiast, but he embodied the spirit of aviation, living his passion every day. He built his plane, the LX-DIN, with his own hands, a lasting testimony to his dedication, craftsmanship and love for the skies. Every flight he took with this ship was not just an adventure, but a celebration of freedom and exploration. Together with his wife, they made extraordinary trips to the farthest reaches of Europe, such as Georgia, creating unforgettable memories.

By losing Dino, we not only lose a great gentleman and a good friend, but also a pillar of our community. He leaves a huge void that no one will ever be able to fill.

 

We would like to send our deepest condolences to his wife and family. Dino will forever be in our thoughts and memories.

 

Fly high, Dino. May you find the most beautiful landing strip among the stars.
