We meet Captain Aurelio Hernandez at the Centro Aeronáutico Flight School in Tijuana, where Jorge gets a hands-on introduction to aviation. From flight simulators to aircraft maintenance, we get an inside look at what it takes to become a pilot in Mexico. Then we visit an amazing gelato place in Rosarito where we learn the difference between authentic Italian gelato and regular ice cream.
