Personal History:

RAC Masa writes: "I was born in Sweden on 5th May. At the age of eight I moved to Finland.  I am now working as a security guard and am married.  I started flying Red Baron in November 2002."

Captain Masa had barely finished his flying training offline when he found himself thrust into the thick of the online war in December 2002.  With so little experience, it was not surprising that initial success was hard to come by.  However, his undeniable talent and determination paid off to the extent that he is now a versatile pilot, skilled in many types of aircraft. 

An ideal "team man", ever-modest and ever-willing to undertake hazardous duties, he is an integral and enthusiastic member of the squadron's renowned Euroflight.   

Masa was a member of RAC's winning RBWL VI team in 2005 but found that real life intervened with his flying time in the latter half of 2006.  His return to the skies is eagerly awaited.
