I wanted to be a pilot since I was a child and at the age of 18, I was able to obtain my PPL. My first job in aviation was airport ground crew, followed by getting my CPL and my first flying job as a pilot in a Piper Seneca II for a Part 91 private operator. I later worked in fire aviation as a fire detection pilot and also provided ground and aerial support. In 2019, I went to work for an Indonesian company flying the mighty C208B. Since returning to Argentina during the pandemic, I have been working back in GA, flying singles and piston twins, and also working as a pilot and instructor for a Part 135 seaplane operator, flying a brand new C208B EX amphibian all over the Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia. In my free time, I provide freelance flying lessons as a CFI. So far, I've flown 25 different airplane models.
My licenses and ratings, Airplane CPL, ME, IR,CFI, CFII, MEI, SES, AG and Aerial Firefighting ratings with tailwheel and Turboprop endorsement.
