From showing up asking to wash planes… to becoming a certified flight instructor—Fernando Sequera's aviation journey is anything but ordinary.
In this episode of Flight Tales, we sit down with Fernando to hear how he went from chemistry major to CFI, working Subway and Best Buy jobs to fund each flight lesson. He shares how he navigated student life, budget flying, getting puked on in the cockpit, and what it really takes to grind your way into aviation.
🔥 You’ll hear:
Why he almost joined the Navy
How love brought him to Lafayette
What kept him flying when things got tough
And the hilarious story of his first student who lost his lunch mid-lesson
This one’s packed with laughs, inspiration, and real talk about the aviation hustle.
